The Iwill KV200-R is the only board in this roundup to make use of AMI's ATA-100/IDE RAID controller which is what sets the KV200-R apart from the competition.

The board also supports Iwill's micro stepping FSB control where you can enter in any frequency between 100 and 166MHz and have the FSB set to that frequency, unfortunately on the Athlon/Duron, most of those settings will be useless because of current chipset/motherboard design limitations.

Unfortunately the KV200-R performed poorly in our performance benchmarks, we are still investigating the cause.
