 October 5, 2006 – TweakTown acknowledges abit's recent past, and notes how well things have been going for the company as product after product wins awards and accolades throughout the world: "Today they are back, bigger and better with new backing, new staff and a full throttle attitude towards the enthusiast market. Today we have ABIT's new Core 2 supporting motherboard based on Intel's 975X Express chipset - not only does it support Core 2 but it supports all of the Pentium 4, Pentium D and Pentium Extreme Edition families."
After cruising through the benchmarks, the AW9D-MAX showed its true colors: "abit's reputation for overclocking to the max is secure - in fact, this is definitely a personal best for any Intel 975X motherboards we have had here in the TweakTown labs. No other company has managed to break 400MHz FSB until now."
 The package and bundle were also commented on: "abit's bundle and onboard features are also a fantastic mix - you get ALL the cables you need for the board, unlike some boards that come with half of the cables that the board can support. abit goes the full Monty and even provides a Toslink cable, no other board we have ever tested has arrived on our doorstep with this."
Duly impressed with the quality and performance, TweakTown awarded the AW9D-MAX a hearty 9.5 out of 10, and immediately awarded it the must-have "BEST PERFORMANCE" award:
"Well, all we can say is "WOW!"
