 2 August, 2007 – abit is the pioneer in HDMI™ integration on motherboards for the digital home usage model. This leadership has been continued with the abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD motherboard. The abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD is the next generation entertainment center for the modern high definition lifestyles. The small form is ideal for use in sleek cases that are easy to handle. The intergraded graphics engine from ATI handles 3D acceleration in Windows VistaTM, HDMITM with full 1080i HDTV resolution and 7.1-channel HD audio with optical S/P DIP out form the basis for an ideal home entertainment platform.
In a recent review at Virtual-Hideout.net th abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD shows not only outstanding on the specs, but also convinced by performance.
When it comes to the entertainment center, the abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD not only has the perfect size to fit next to your TV even in small rooms, but also sports great freatures: "Based on testing results, the F-I90HD would be extremely useful installed in the Moncaso 932P Platinum or Zalman HD-160XT HTPC enclosure. Stability is so important if you plan on hosting any movie nights or just simply enjoying your own time with your favorite movie. It's almost a shame installing the motherboard inside enclosures that don't have any windows. This cool looking board would be hid and no one would really know unless they opened it up. None the less, this is just two of the many top enclosures I would be happy to install the motherboard in which would really spruce up the entertainment center. If you're using enclosures of this caliber, you want a worthy system inside." "There are plenty of HTPC micro-ATX motherboard choices around, but very few offer up improved performance features like the Avivo, Advanced Imaging and Video. The improved clarity and audio give it something greater to offer. If you are in search of something along these lines of features, don't hesitate to look for this motherboard."
The abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD is equipped with the ATI Radeon™ Xpress 1250-based graphics engine offering superior graphics performance: "3D performance is comparable to standard performance you can expect from other systems using a 7600 GT PCI Express graphics card. Call of Duty 2 was upwards of 60 frames per second with higher settings and resolutions. Adding a graphics card greater than a 7600 GT will help the system produce much higher frame rates and make most any game playable. Having the option of adding a more upscale graphics card is always a necessary and appreciated features."
 The audio is a crucial criteria for a home entertainment center, the abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD provides 7.1-Channel HD audio with optical S/P Dip out, great audio experience can be expected: "Does the integrated 7.1 HD Audio out perform a 7.1 HD audio card? Some of the past HTPC boards came up a bit short when it comes to sound quality, support, and play back. Fortunately for the F-I90HD, the 7.1 High Definition Audio is more than decent enough to offer a better than average quality of sound."
If you are looking for an HTPC platform that is able to fulfill your home entertainment experience, the abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD is a truly approved choice.
