ABIT AN7 Nets Legion Hardware's
Performance Award
µGuru™ and overclocking impress editors

December 18, 2003 - With the holidays quickly approaching, shoppers the world over will be looking for the perfect gift for the hardware enthusiast in their lives. For a gift that keeps on giving, ABIT's AN7 motherboard packs legendary ABIT performance into a package that's easy on the wallet. Legion Hardware had a chance to take the AN7 for a spin, and was so impressed with it, gave it their coveted Performance Award!

Legion Hardware loved overclocking on the fly, made possible with ABIT's SoftMenu and µGuru™: "A new feature that I found in the KV8-MAX3 BIOS was called "OC on the Fly". The new feature, developed for the SoftMenu lll, basically allows the user to overclock their system from the BIOS on the fly. In other words, without having to reset the system to see the results. I have found this feature to work wonderfully..."

The AN7 is not only a good performer, but it's also a great value: "The ABIT AN7 is much like the KV7 that I reviewed in September, despite the difference in chipsets. The KV7 was based on the competing VIA KT600 chipset. Back then I found the KV7 to be an excellent overclocker and a superb performer. For just $80 US at the time the KV7 was a bargain. Much the same can be said for the AN7. While it does carry a higher price tag of $110 US, there are worthy improvements. The nForce2 400 Ultra in itself is a slightly more expensive chipset. Once you start adding up additional features, such as the Guru technology along with all the other ABIT engineered features, the reason for the price difference is obvious."

Here's the conclusion: "Just like the KV7 I found the AN7 not only to be an excellent overclocker, but also an impressive performer right across the board. The BIOS was rich with tweakable features, and the new ability to OC on the Fly is a brilliant addition to the board...Overall, the AN7 has quickly become one of my favorite Socket A motherboards. With the high quality software utilities that ABIT are continuing to develop I will find it hard to turn down future motherboards from the company."
