They also did a test/review along the same lines as Dr. Pabst if you'd like to do a direct comparison of all of the boards. Skipping ahead to the conclusion page and the last paragraph (yeah yeah, I read the end of the book before I buy it to see if I'll like the ending ;-) ) "If you require the very best performance then the KX7-333R is your board, however if your not fussed about performance and second best is good enough, then the AT7 MAX may suit your needs better. That is if you're after loads of features, no legacy support and aren't scared to pay through your nose for a motherboard. I can't express how impressed I am with the performance of the KX7-333R, so I wont go on and on about it. To conclude this review I would just like to say the KX7-333R is the fastest KT333 board I have reviewed to date and possibly the fastest on the market!
