Taipei, Taiwan, ROC, July 26, 2002
- ABIT's BD7II-RAID has proved itself a worthy successor to the
legendary BD7-RAID. International hardware website Overclockers Australia has
found the BD7II to be a true enthusiasts board, with its extremely overclockable
BIOS and rock-solid stability.
"In the BIOS area the BD7II-RAID starts distinguishing
itself from the crowd: ABIT is well known for their highly tweakable BIOS. Those
who are longer in the business remember that it was ABIT, which introduced the
jumper- less board design and a made history with their SOFTMENUE BIOS tweaking
options. The BD7II-RAID Award BIOS has all the usual options and functions,
there is nothing much to mention about it. What attracted immediately our
interest were some very specific SOFTMENU options in the first section of the
BD7II-RAID BIOS. Here you go: These options make the BD7II-RAID BIOS an
overclocker's orchard."
"The BD7II-RAID is a lean and mean piece of hardware with
a lot of muscle and free of unnecessary gimmicks. Maybe this is one reason for
the good stability and performance we found with this board. The BD7II-RAID is
providing very high bandwidth and performance already at stock frequency when
running CPU and RAM frequencies asynchronously at a 3:4 ratio. The BD7II-RAID is
also a superb overclocker. It allowed us to run our P4 2.26 air-cooled with the
Intel stock HSF at 3021 MHz. The ability to fix the PCI/AGP frequency in the
BD7II-RAID BIOS at a given speed is a god-sent gift…Given the reasonable
pricing, the excellent performance, and the huge overclocking potential, we
highly recommend the BD7II-RAID as platform for the new 533 MHz system bus
Pentium 4."
