Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., November 22, 2003 – When it
comes to high-octane computing, it's tough to beat a system based on ABIT
Engineered hardware. Australian magazine Atomic pitted
the new ABIT KV8-MAX3 versus eight other Athlon
64 boards, and after some rigorous testing, found that was truly
something special, awarding it with their HOT Award!
Atomic was quick to point out some of the innovations made possible by
ABIT Engineering on the KV8-MAX3, including the revolutionary µGuru™ chip:
"The board lacks serial and parallel ports, but in their
place are some innovations seen nowhere else. To complement the externally
vented OTES cooling used to keep power circuitry chilled, ABIT has added
its new µGuru chip for comprehensive hardware monitoring."
If
storage is your thing, then the KV8-MAX3 is the clear choice: "One
of the bravest moves made with this board is the six SATA ports. We heartily
recommend choosing Serial ATA if you are shopping for a drive, and this
large number of ports means huge expandability."
The verdict? "ABIT's KV8-MAX3 provides the most comprehensive,
up-to-date feature set of any of the boards in the roundup. This is really
the cream of the feature crop."
