Anandtech has reviewed the ABIT IT7 MAX2 v 2.0 and concluded: "For those
users that desire a flexible, feature-filled and overclockable motherboard no
matter the price, the ABIT IT7 MAX2 v. 2.0.0 couldn't be a more perfect choice."
Anandtech found the tweaking options available in the IT7 MAX2 v. 2.0.0 to their
liking: "Not surprisingly, ABIT continues to use its Soft Menu™ BIOS. We have
become quite fond of Soft Menu™, mostly due to the fact that ABIT's Soft Menu™
BIOS is very "tweaker"friendly and is well organized and easy to use in
general."
"The ABIT IT7 MAX2 v. 2.0.0 was able to stabile operate at just over 220MHz
FSB (or 882MHz QDR FSB) in their own independent tests. This piece of
information could mean that if you purchase an ABIT IT7 MAX2 v. 2.0.0
motherboard, you'll be able to upgrade to future Pentium 4 processors such as
the upcoming 200MHz FSB (or 800MHz QDR FSB) P4 processor without much trouble.
If true, this would mean that end users won't have to spend extra money on
Springdale/Canterwood motherboards or extra money on a second memory module if
they already have an ABIT IT7 MAX2 v. 2.0.0 motherboard."
In conclusion, Anandtech was very pleased with the IT7 MAX2 v 2 and had no
problems recommending it: "The ABIT IT7 MAX2 v. 2.0.0 is an excellent
overclocker and has a good deal of tweaking options available in the BIOS as
well (DRAM adjustments among other options). Of course, it goes without saying
that the ABIT IT7 MAX2 V.2 is loaded with features. In fact, taking into account
the IT7 MAX2 V.2's bundled accessories and ABIT's outstanding U.S. Technical
Support and RMA policy, we would have to say that the ABIT IT7 MAX2 V.2 is the
most complete Pentium 4 motherboard solution currently available on the market."
