Abit AN7 Motherboard Review
Introduction & Specifications

Introduction

In enthusiast circles there are a few company names you’ll hear most often. One of those happens to be ABIT Computer Corporation, or more simply, ABIT. While ABIT has been around since the late 80’s, they first popped up on enthusiast’s radar in 1996 when they introduced Soft Menu™ to the world. Moving forward they released a number of boards as well as the famous BH6. The BH6 put ABIT on the map as one of the top manufacturer’s for enthusiasts and overclockers alike. Today we’ll be taking a look at a board with another milestone, ABIT’s AN7 with their new µGuru™ feature. The AN7 supports all socket A processors, and is based on the nVIDIA nForce™2 Ultra 400 chipset. The AN7 features dual channel DDR400 memory and a front side bus that can both be run up to 400MHz. USB2, onboard LAN, Serial ATA150, IEEE1394 (FireWire), and onboard sound with S/PDIF ports complete this board nicely.
