BD7-RAID Wins TweakTown's Editors Choice!

Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. Wednesday, January 16th, 2002- In their most recent review, the folks at TweakTown have taken a close look at the BD7-RAID, ABIT's new Intel Pentium 4 DDR motherboard based on the i845D chipset. They liked it so much, they decided to give it their coveted Editors Choice award!

TweakTown noticed the ABIT Engineered features on the BD7-RAID right away: "The first interesting feature I noticed on the BD7-RAID was the fact that ABIT included a handy little power/reset switch and a two-digit LED readout onboard! The power and reset switches are sure to come in handy for me as I often benchmark hardware on a test bench without a case. The two-digit LED readout is very handy as well. If there is a boot problem, the LED readout displays a hexadecimal code that enables you to easily troubleshoot the problem."

The BD7-RAID's SoftMenuTM III really stood out with TweakTown editors: "In usual ABIT style, you are able to adjust all sorts of settings in the Soft Menu III BIOS however, some things in particular caught my eye. You can set the FSB all the way up to 250MHz in 1MHz increments. On top of this, you can adjust the AGP and PCI bus divider to 3/1, 4/1, FIX PCI 33, FIX PCI 37.5 and FIX PCI 40. This is the first time I have seen a motherboard that allows you to fix the PCI bus at a certain speed. This means that the PCI bus will always be at the speed you set, which enables you to increase the FSB even further without losing stability. You are also able to set the CPU core voltage to a whopping 2.2V in 0.05v increments."

The conclusion? "Overall I am very pleased with the ABIT BD7-RAID. It has a great feature set, good layout, excellent overclocking results, great stability and most importantly, good performance…Either way, the Intel i845D chipset is a very good alternative to the i850 chipset and you will not be disappointed if you purchase this motherboard.
