Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., August 30th, 2004 - Top hardware enthusiast review site; Driver Heaven has recently
took a look at ABIT's latest AMD socket 939 motherboard, AV8. Here are the highlights:
Let's hear what Driver Heaven says about AV8's layout
"Most of the AV8 components are well laid out. For example the power connectors have room around them and the floppy
connector is nearer the top of the board rather than right at the bottom where some other manufacturers place it. With the
good design there are also a couple of little niggles such as the closeness of some capacitors to the cpu socket. These can
get in the way when adding/removing heatsinks.."
ABIT uGuru; the ultimate Window tweaking software that
offers OC Guru, ABIT EQ, Black BOX and Flash Menu. Let's hear what Driver Heaven has to say "Abit's Guru technology
allows for a great deal of user configuration within Windows, much more than any other Motherboard manufacturer gives you.
The main aspect of interest is, we feel, the on the fly overclocking and profiles. The AV8 allows you to set up various settings
depending on your needs and then access them with only a few mouse clicks. You can even set profiles per game or application.
The screenshots below show the plethora of options available to you."
Conclusion, "The AV8 is a board which should be given serious consideration by any Athon64 user. It is very stable
even when overclocked, performance is first class along with some excellent configuration options for the enthusiast."
We are honored to receive the Editor's Choice award from Driver Heaven.
