Computer Gaming World Magazine Gives ABIT IC7-G "Editor's Choice"

Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., September 29^th 2003 - If you are into gaming then you are into the best hardware. Computer Gaming World covers both and gives you the low down on the best games, how to play them and what to play them on. In the September issue Loyd Case looks at two motherboards in Motherboard Madness and chooses the ABIT IC7-G as the number-one choice. Read on:

"WITH the release of the 875P chipset and a slew of 800MHz frontside bus Pentium 4 processors, options for gamers who want to build killer gaming rigs using Intel CPUs has become very interesting. The huge memory bandwidth-6.4GB per second-is just the ticket for texture-heavy 3D games. With 800MHz FSB CPUs ranging from less than $200 for the 2.4C model to under $420 for the 3.0GHz processor, prices are about as reasonable as they've been in a long time...The ABIT IC7-G...is a complete package, including not one, but two serial ATA power-adapter cables for that SATA RAID array you plan to build. The board is also compatible with the company's Media XP front expansion bay, which includes additional USB 2.0 ports and readers for various memory cards.
Out of the box...the ABIT board offers slightly better untweaked performance. While both motherboards offer a rich array of tweaks for overclockers, the ABIT BIOS setup program is more accessible, while the...(other)...BIOS setup is somewhat confusing. Both boards were reasonably stable, although we did see a crash attributed to the Radeon 9700 graphics card with the...(other)...board during the benchmarking process.
All in all...the ABIT IC7-G will appeal more to the overclocker, with its accessible BIOS settings and easy recovery from over tweaking.

VERDICT ****1/2
ABIT IC7-G delivers a complete kit for setting up a system, good performance out of the box, and accessible BIOS..."
