Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., April 11 2002 -
ABIT's newest high performance motherboard, the SD7-533, has
impressed the editors at top hardware website Active Hardware so much they have
given it their coveted "Top Grade Hardware" award.
As is the case with all ABIT motherboards, the onboard features
are of the highest quality. The sound on the SD7 is no exception: "As we've
mentioned before, the CMI8738 is head and shoulders above the audio circuitry
that is typically included as part of most VIA chipsets, and its sound
reproduction is simply excellent. Whether you're playing MP3s, CDs, or 3D games,
the CMI8738's sound quality will often surprise you with its fidelity."
Of course when the real business of benchmarking begins, the
SD7-533 shows is at the top of its class. "There's no doubt here that the Abit
SD7-533 motherboard's performance is a tough act to follow. The combination of
solid design, the SiS 645 chipset, a 2.4GHz Pentium 4 "Northwood" CPU, and 256MB
of Corsair XMS3000 (DDR333/PC2700) memory adds up to one very fast system -- one
capable of competing or surpassing an i850-based system with PC800 RAMBUS
memory, and that's no mean feat. To sum it all up, if you're looking for top
performance in a Pentium 4 package, look no further than the Abit SD7-533; just
make sure you pair it with CL2 (2-2-2-1) DDR333 memory to get the full benefit
and you're on your way to skyrocket performance."
