Taipei, Taiwan, June 12, 2003 - In a spectacular feat of engineering prowess, the ABIT Engineers have created a BIOS for the IS7 Series that unlocks the performance of the 865PE chipset, making the ABIT IS7 series boards the fastest 865PE motherboards ever made! Even at stock speeds, the IS7 series is 17% faster than all other Springdale boards. The IC7 Series also takes advantage of ABIT''''s Game Accelerator making the ABIT IS7 / IC7 series the gamer''''s choice for more frags, better gameplay and mind-bending graphic performance.

Better BIOS, Better Gaming

Within ABIT Softmenu™, Game Accelerator allows users the following options:
Auto
Turbo
Street Racer
F1

Users have a choice between "Auto", "Turbo", "Street racer" and "F1" so they can optimize their system performance according to their memory modules. The IC7-G will also come equipped with these new settings. With each setting, users can push their overall PC performance further and further. Those who select F1 in the BIOS settings are looking to get Formula 1 performance from their desktop PC, and so should be prepared to unleash raw computing power.

WARNING: When using F1 performance take the necessary precautions! Inadequate cooling and inferior hardware could result in system burnout, financial hardship, or even death!

"ABIT has put together a well performing motherboard with a wonderful array of features and overclocking potential at an incredible price point. The ABIT IS7 is living proof of ABIT''''s commitment to the enthusiast desktop market, and we can only hope they continue to produce more motherboards like the IS7 for years to come."

"The performance speaks for itself if you looked at any of our graphs. The ABIT IS7 consistently beat out the more expensive and feature packed 875P/Canterwood board we compared to throughout our benchmarks.
The ABIT IS7 series delivers what is possibly the best bang for the buck we will see this year. And that is simply hard to argue with."
