Tweakers AU has done a review on the KX7-333R which is the AT7 with legacy stuff.
In terms of raw performance, the ABIT KX7-333R puts up a very good fight against the much more expensive Soyo KT333 Dragon Ultra, and the speedy EPoX 8K3A+. For around $115 US you too can own the KX7-333R, a price that really puts it in the budget category. On a feature scale the KX7-333R doesn't offer much at all except RAID, but that is precisely why ABIT offers a feature-rich alternative KT333 board we talked about earlier - the AT7 MAX. The 4 DIMM sockets on the KX7-333R are a good idea, but may fool people into believing the board supports up to 4GB of DDR memory. Onboard audio and USB 2.0 would have also been nice, but you can't expect these luxuries without paying for them in the end. Overall an excellent board with plenty of room for expansion, overclocking and optimal performance - did I mention a great price? ($115 isn't budget IMHO).
