Gigabyte GA-7ZM Socket-A KT133 microATX

The Bad

We've yet to see any KT133 boards available with the ability to unlock the multiplier of AMD's Socket-A CPU's, but if such a feature does come to market, it will be sorely missed on the GA-7ZM by all overclockers. However, the GA-7ZM, with its microATX form factor, probably won't appeal to most overclockers.

The second biggest complaint with the GA-7ZM, which is relatively minor overall, is the fact that Gigabyte continues to not include the header required to take advantage of the second set of USB ports.
