How does a board with 4 DDR SDRam slots, RAID, 6 PCI slots and SoftMenu III sound to you? Well the KG7-RAID packs all of those features into one huge ATX board and let's find out how does the KG7-RAID stand up from the rest of the crowd!

Thank you to everyone whom sent well wishes and offers for bail money when they heard about the me + farm animals = TEH SEX PARTY story Kyle posted yesterday. I'm all better now... I think.
