The Test
In recent times, choosing a motherboard cannot be completely determined by a Winstone score. Now, many boards come within one Winstone point of each other and therefore the need to benchmark boards against each other falls. Therefore you shouldn't base your decision entirely on the benchmarks you see here, but also on the technical features and advantages of this particular board, seeing as that will probably make the greatest difference in your overall experience.

The Final Decision
Overall, the Gigabyte GA-7VX is a well made KX133 motherboard, but has few features that make it stand out from the pack. If you're looking for a solid KX133 motherboard, the GA-7VX is an above average solution, although not the best out there.
