Let's all remember that I am jujst a messenger here, and I know that this is a deals forum but since everyone is clamoring for these MB's I thought I would post this. Below is a message from a post at Paull's unifficial KT-7 faq.
from KBench(best hardware site in Korea),
(traslated)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copied files between HDDs(connected to 686B not HPT370) are randomly corrupted, if any PCI
busmastering device(sound cards, SCSI controllers, RAID controllers etc.) is installed.
The copied file apparently looks identical to the original one in the explore, but the
difference can be detected by binary comparing.

Yes, there seems to be some broblem in KT133A.
Now VIA is preparing KT133E chipset including new '686B-optimized' north bridge, and i suspect
that there may be some relation with this problem.
If you are about to upgrade your mobo, avoid KT133A chipset-based mobo till this problem is cleared.

Now I have the KT7A, and besides a few glitches, mostly with W2K and the VIA BM drivers I haven't had any prob's. But if there is a problem let's get it out there.
