June
17, 2004 - ABIT brings a higher level of performance to the AMD
platform with the release of the ABIT AV8. The AV8 is optimized for the
latest AMD Athlon™ 64 and 64 FX processors, pushing 64-bit Performance for
enthusiasts and gamers. ABIT's µGuru™ has added Autodrive™ to allow ABIT
users to have their PC automatically speed up or slow down according to
what the user is doing. With ABIT's BulletProof Technology, the AV8 is Torture
Test Passed to ensure durability not found on other boards.
"We chose to build our 939-pin AMD solution based on VIA's K8T800
Pro chipset," said Scott Thirlwell, Marketing Director of ABIT
Computer. "Our VIA K8T800 Pro solution for the 754-pin Athlon64, the KV8-PRO,
was named as 'The Best Athlon64 Platform' and I believe
that our VIA K8t800 Pro solution for the 939-pin Athlon 64 will also be
the mobo of choice." The ABITGamers Gaming Teams are all using the ABIT
KV8-PRO or AV8 motherboards to ensure the highest levels of durability
and the most advanced hardware monitoring, tweaking and overclocking features
of any desktop motherboard.
µGuru™: Enlightened System Performance
μGuru™
Technology - designed by the ABIT Engineers for use only on ABIT
motherboards – allows end-users to reach a higher state of hardware awareness
and enlightenment. µGuru acts as a spiritual guide, sharing with ABIT
users, tips for hardware monitoring, overclocking, BIOS flashing and audio
tweaking functions in an easy to use, Windows-based interface.
µGuru combines the ABIT Engineered features ABIT EQ™, OC Guru™,
FlashMenu™, and BlackBox™ into a user-friendly
interface providing users the perfect environment with which to maximize
performance and stability. Operating as an independent microprocessor,
μGuru effectively frees your CPU resources from performing these functions,
further increasing system performance.
As a part of the motherboard, only μGuru can completely understand how
to optimize the motherboard for ultimate performance. What truly sets
μGuru apart is it's onboard memory that allows users to save their favorite
overclocking settings for specific applications. For example, with OC
Guru™, users can choose their favorite overclocked setting that will be
saved when the PC is rebooted. OC Guru™ ups the ante with ABIT AutoDrive™,
which allows you to have overclocking, voltage, and fan settings change
automatically per application. Have the system lower
fan speeds and noise levels when you are surfing the net, but automatically
raise the FSB and crank the cooling up when you launch a 3D game. Only
OC Guru™ with ABIT AutoDrive™ gives
this level of control.
With 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, BlackBox™ also includes an automatic ABIT
tech support email feature that 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.
Built with Bulletproof Technology™
Like
all ABIT motherboards, the AV8 is built with Bulletproof Technology™
- a new standard in terms of Quality, Reliability, Stability, and Engineering.
Bulletproof Technology begins with selecting the highest quality components
available. ABIT uses only Japanese-made capacitors on ABIT branded motherboards
– capacitors that cost several times more than regular capacitors. While
others try to cut components, ABIT puts quality first. Bulletproof Technology™
also means stability, and the AV8 3 Phase PWM delivers clean and stable
power to the CPU during gaming and overclocking. Stability is further
ensured as the AV8 has passed the Torture Test, a series of looping demos
and benchmarks designed to tax the board far beyond normal use. If the
motherboard has been Torture Tested and Passed, it is built to last. Reliability
is another component of Bulletproof Technology. To help users identify
devices and components that are problem-free with ABIT motherboards, ABIT
has developed its ABIT Approved Program™. After hardware has passed compatibility
testing, it is given the ABIT Approved Seal. The ABIT Approved Seal lets
ABIT users understand which devices and components they should be choosing
to complete their systems. Add to all of this exclusive ABIT Engineered
features such as µGuru, and the AV8 is truly in a class by itself.

ABIT's Advanced Durability brings greater responsibility
to the motherboard manufacturers in creating durable products with
quality, reliability and stability engineered for long-term, problem-free
use. All of ABIT motherboards are Advanced Durability tested and approved.
ABIT looks to all motherboard makers to make a similar durability
commitment to the end-user. |
