Features

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo
- The Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor is the first microprocessor to use Intel's groundbreaking 65-nanometer semiconductor process, the first to have dual core on die. The Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor balances dual-core computing capabilities with power savings of up to 40%. Its major performance boost is achieved by integrating dual cores on the die using Chip Multi-Processing (CMP) architecture.

Dual Channel DDR2
- This is the latest generation of DDR memory. It effectively doubles data transfer rate and bandwidth of DDR2 memory. To make optimal use of the Dual Channel capability a pair of identical memory modules must be placed in matching DIMM sockets. Those are color coded..

PCI Express
- PCI Express is the next generation local interconnect on a motherboard. It effectively started supplementing the older PCI and AGP bus and has become the prevailing interconnect standard. End users in general get in general associate with PCI Express a graphics card slot on the motherboard. Here PCIe x8 or PCIe x16 are the most seen standards. PCIe in the meantime has replaced the AGP slot for graphics cards.

9 ports SATA 3Gb/s
- 9 ports of SATA 3Gb/s provide for largest storage flexibility and an amazing storage capacity never seen before on a mainstream high-end motherboard. See more about the possibilities http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/news/newspop.php?pDOCNO=en_0608011

eSATA
- eSATA is a new standard for external storage devices. With an external data transfer rate of up to 3 Gb/s no other external data transfer solution can compete with speed and ease of use.

Dolby Digital Live
- Enjoy audio from your PC or game console through your home theater with Dolby® Digital Live. This is a real-time encoding technology which converts any audio signal into a Dolby® Digital bitstream for transport and playback through a home theater system. Systems using Dolby® Digital Live technology can also provide Dolby® Digital (5.1-channel surround sound) during gameplay, immersing players in high-quality surround sound that puts them at the center of the action.

Dual Gigabit Ethernet
- Now users cannot only use the internet but also host their own server or set up an additional LAN or homenetwork all on one PC without bandwidth constraints.

Abit Engineered
abit uGuru
- With abit's unique uGuru technology now even the most novice users can fully monitor and control their system including voltages, fans and temperatures; it's all just a click away. The more advanced you become, the more you will appreciate the multitude of fine tuning features abit's uGuru technology holds for you.

OC Guru - AutoDrive™
- By enabling AutoDrive, you can automatically apply different overclocking settings for different applications.

Hardware Monitoring
- Monitor temperatures, voltages and fan settings in real time and with zero CPU usage.

One Click BIOS Update
- With abit 's BIOS flash utility you can easily update your motherboard BIOS online or offline.

Auto-Detect Hardware Info
- The abit BlackBox auto-detects hardware info for quick communication between users and ABIT Tech support.

abit SoftMenu™
- The original jumperless motherboard design allows for CPU setting changes completely through the BIOS. For GigaOverclocking! Boost your PC's Performance by up to 50%. Convenient and easy-to-use fine tuning from within a self-explanatory BIOS menu.

abit EQ™
- Keep control over your hardware. abit EQ™ is an easy-to-use system monitor that helps you keep an eye on voltages, temperature items and fans.

abit CPU ThermalGuard™
- The abit ThermalGuard™ technology prevents the CPU from overheating and burning up in the case of any hardware cooling malfunction. This hardware thermal protection automatically shuts down your system when the CPU temperature reaches a certain threshold.

abit Silent OTES™
- abit's Silent OTES™ heatpipe technology dissipates heat from the chipset and conducts it to a highly effective heatsink. This fanless solution keeps your motherboard cool and quiet.
