Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. November 2nd, 2003-
ABIT, known as "The" hardware manufacturer that designs, and
sells a complete family of award-winning mainboards and multimedia products
that support industry-leading technology and provide leading quality and
performance, is hosting a ballroom during Comdex Las Vegas and will have
wares to show those who come visit.
Ground Breaking Motherboards
This year ABIT is proud to show off their full range of Intel and AMD
based boards for every single possible combination including our MAX series
of motherboards with onboard OTES.
The Evolution of OTES
The original OTES redefined VGA cooling to the point where manufacturers
are now using gimmicks like multiple fan combinations on VGA cards in
a vain effort to match the cooling prowess of OTES. Now, in the interests
of cooling and performance, OTES has been redesigned to cool the hottest
part of a motherboard: the PWM power regulation mosfets and capacitors.
While active cooling on the northbridge has been developed in recent years,
the PWM area has been completely ignored. OTES fills this need, while
also serving to exhaust air outside of the PC case.Come check out the
latest in that series during Comdex.
The ABIT AI7, The Board of the Future
The AI7, is the first motherboard with intelligent hardware monitoring
and overclocking features that can be saved to a micro-processor: μGuru.
Based on the 865PE chipset, the AI7 also comes with Game Accelerator,
a BIOS tweak that allows users to increase their performance up to 30%.
The ABIT Engineers designed the AI7 with 4-phase power for more stability
while overclocking, particularly when using the new 800 MHz FSB CPUs.
With the AI7, users have 2 SATA ports and 2 parallel ports, meaning ABIT
users can have 2 channel SATA RAID 0/1. And, for the ultimate in connectivity
to peripheral devices, the AI7 comes complete with 3 Firewire ports and
8 USB2.0 ports!
Only ABIT offers SPDIF In/Out for the ultimate in multimedia connectivity.
Due to our extensive experience in audio technology with our speaker systems
and AU-10 sound card, ABIT motherboards undergo rigorous testing at the
ABIT Audio Research Laboratories in Taipei, Taiwan, ensuring that audiophiles
and gamers alike will be satisfied with the richness and clarity of ABIT
onboard audio: ABIT is the only Dolby-certified motherboard maker. Thus,
for the AI7 we have used the Realtek 658 codec with Jack Sensing Technology.
With ABIT's Audio EQ technology, AI7 users get all the features of more
expensive soundcards, built right into the μGuru processor.

ABIT BlackBox
With ABIT BlackBox, ABIT takes yet another step ahead of the competition
in terms of service. BlackBox does exactly what you think it might: in
the event of a system problem or crash, it records vital system information
that the ABIT Engineers can use to determine the extent of the problem.
Furthermore, Black Box also includes an automatic ABIT tech support email
feature which relays this information to ABIT at the touch of a button.
No more relaying emails back and forth. ABIT BlackBox is another step
in ABIT's quest to provide personalized global service for every end-user,
in every country.

One Touch Multimedia
 Located
right above the OC knob are 4 programmable hot keys that make using DigiDice's
various multimedia functions a breeze. The keys are easily programmed
inside Windows to run your favorite application. With one touch, users
can play DVDs or VCDs, listen to CDs, audio DVDs or MP3s, browse photos
or copy a DVD/CD.
One click overclocking
 The
ABIT DigiDice follows in the ABIT tradition by putting overclocking abilities
in the hands of those who want to experiment. DigiDice offers two ways
to overclock your system. Users can still tweak the DigiDice for customized
performance through ABIT Softmenu™, the original overclockers BIOS interface.
We've also included an easy overclocking front controller knob, which
offers 5 different settings for a quick hit when power is needed during
intense applications. The ABIT DigiDice is available using the Intel 865G
chipset. Onboard graphics can be easily upgraded to a high end VGA card
thanks to the AGP slot.
LCD Hardware Monitoring
 With
DigiDice, we wanted to make a useful LCD panel that would appeal to casual
users as well as the most hardcore PC enthusiast. The LCD panel on the
DigiDice displays useful information such as CPU and fan speed for the
overclockers, as well as a temperature warning if things get out of hand.
Multimedia Connectivity
 The
front panel is loaded with features including a Firewire port, 2 USB ports
and a card reader for Memory Stick and CF cards, plus a headphone jack.
2 DIMMS means up to 2 GB of DDR 400 memory, making DigiDice a powerful
unit for just about any application you can throw at it. Serial ATA is
offered for true data-enthusiasts. And of course, in true mini PC tradition
both units also offer 6-channel audio and onboard LAN.
OTES: The Rise of Cooling
 With
the demands that ABIT users put on their systems, we felt it was absolutely
necessary to have only a high performance, tried and tested cooling solution
that could cope with extreme temperatures while adhering to the Silent
PC Standard of 25 decibels. Of course we chose our own patented OTES (Outside
Thermal Exhaust System),  as
no other cooling solution on the market exhausts heat out of the back
of the PC case, reducing overall ambient case temperature. OTES is ABIT's
own thermal solution: no other cooling solution cools like OTES. That's
why it's patented.
Limitless Expansion Possibilities
 What
truly sets the ABIT DigiDice apart is the expansion possibilities with
room for two ATAPI devices, two hard disks plus a PCI slot for a TV tuner
card and an AGP slot for a full range of VGA Cards, including the ABIT
Siluro FX5900 OTES. The ABIT DigiDice has all the features users crave
in a mini PC, without the inherent limitations of the form factor
