Last year, Intel unleashed their latest and greatest CPU innovation, the LGA775 (Socket T) Pentium 4. Although the original boards and chipsets were a "work in progress", ABIT, Asus and others have stepped up to unleash the power of Socket T Pentium 4! The ABIT AG8 is Abit's answer for performance gamers on a budget. With SATA RAID, Dual Channel DDR 400, PCI-Express X16, IEEE1394, Gigabit LAN, and ABIT Engineered µGuru, what more could you ask for? Let's take an indepth look at the AG8.
