IC7-G: the ABIT Gigasystem? Mainboard -
ABIT Engineered for Overclockers, by Overclockers? Taipei, Taiwan, April 11, 2003-After blowing away the competition with its unchallenged triumvirate of uber-overclockable 845 PE boards, the IT7 MAX2, BE7 series and BH7, ABIT has unleashed its long awaited offering for the Intel 875 chipset. The IC7-G is the most fully featured mainboard ever created, hand crafted and ABIT Engineered to meld high-performance workstation stability and power with legendary ABIT performance and overclockability. The result is a creation truly ahead of its time, with features and specs never seen before in a desktop motherboard.
Only ABIT gives users a chance to experience a 1 Gig FSB and 1 Gig DDR memory overclock thanks to advanced ABIT Engineering. Designed with the enthusiast in mind, the IC7-G has the ABIT Engineered features that tweaking?obsessed users demand for GigaOverclocking.
And with an onboard 4-phase power solution, the IC7-G is not only more stable for overclocking, it is ready for the next generation of CPUs that require more power. Other 875 boards use only 3 or even 2 phases of power and must be considered inadequately powered for both serious overclocking and future generations of CPUs.
Fully Featured and Fully Loaded
The IC7-G comes complete with ABIT Serillel2, which has been improved to support Hot-Plug functionality and ATAPI Devices, such as CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, allowing users to experience the advantages of cool, clean cases with all of their IDE devices! With Serillel2 and the SATA 150 RAID 0/1 controller by Silicon Image, only ABIT allows users to connect up to 8 Hard Disks at once! With on board Intel PRO/1000 CT Desktop Connection Gigabit LAN , ABIT IC7-G users have overclocked LAN: Intel?s PRO Gigabit LAN increases throughput by 50%, with real-world gains of up to 30%. Optical SPDIF In/Out and 6 channel audio.
Only ABIT offers SPDIF In/Out for the ultimate in multimedia connectivity. Due to our extensive experience in audio technology with our speaker systems and AU-10 sound card, ABIT motherboards undergo rigorous testing at the ABIT Audio Research Laboratories in Taipei, Taiwan, ensuring that audiophiles and gamers alike will be satisfied with the richness and clarity of ABIT onboard audio. And, for the ultimate in connectivity to peripheral devices, the IC7-G comes complete with 3 Firewire ports and 8 USB2.0 ports!
The IC7-G is a next generation motherboard for Intel CPUs. The IC7-G uses Intel's newest 875 chipset to bring the latest in technology to the Intel platform. The IC7-G supports Intel® Pentium 4 800/533/400 MHz CPUs with Hyper-Threading technology for superior performance, and offers full support for Dual Channel DDR. ABIT provides users with 6-channel sound and S/PDIF in/out as a standard feature for enhanced audio performance. With full support for AGP 8X, USB 2.0, IEEE 1394 and onboard Intel PRO/1000 CT Desktop Connection Gigabit LAN, the IC7-G allows users to connect to today's hottest peripherals.
Intel PRO/1000 CT Desktop Connection Gigabit LAN on board Lets you easily connect to the world wide web at high speeds without having to buy a separate 10/100/1000 Ethernet card.
Features
Enhanced 800MHz FSB
The 800MHz FSB increases bandwidth and improves overall system performance.
Dual DDR Module Support
Supports up to 4GB of Single/Dual channel DIMM modules, delivering bandwidth of 4.8GB/sec.
Intel PRO/1000 CT Desktop Connection Gigabit LAN on board
Lets you easily connect to the world wide web at high speeds without having to buy a separate 10/100 Ethernet card.
