Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., November 10th, 2004 Discussing the latest in hardware and computer news, A1 Electronics recently took a look at ABIT's Athlon 64 FX based socket 939 motherboard; AV8. Here are the highlights:
Let's hear what A1 Electronics has to say about AV8's layout "Nice to see plenty of room between the DDR memory slots and the AGP slot and there are four fan headers around this AV8. The motherboard comes complete with a black plastic socket fixing and motherboard back support while being fitted with the Abit uGuru chip as well. "
ABIT has always been known as the enthusiast motherboard manufacture. Here is what A1 Electronics' overclocking experience with the AV8 "We had no trouble overclocking the Abit AV8 motherboard with our AMD Athlon 64 processor up to 225MHz with room left for more aggressive overclocking.

But this Abit AV8 motherboard does come with all you need including Gigabit LAN and plenty of USB ports and has been designed for those of you looking for an overclocking high performance motherboard with its super BIOS and mass of overclocking options.
