When shopping for a new motherboard for the AMD Athlon/Duron/AthlonXP platform, one will notice that there are several chipsets, each with different features and different price tags. Most people will get the fastest chipset available, VIA’s KT333. But what if you aren’t looking for the fastest solutions available? Some people would prefer an older cheaper motherboard to fit their budgets. And that’s what we’re reviewing today, a budget motherboard.
The MSI K7T266 Pro-R is based on the older VIA KT266 chipset. Sure, it may not be as fast as the newer MSI KT3, but with an onboard RAID controller and a cheaper price this would fit perfect in some situations, such as a small home server. There are also quite a few other features that we will be discussing throughout the review, as well as stability and performance. The “R” at the end of the mainboard’s name stands for RAID. There are two other versions of this board, one with RAID and USB 2.0 (Pro-RU), while the other is plain vanilla.
