abit is well known for their graphic cards and motherboards, especially to the enthusiast crowd. However, network cards was a new one on us, but that changed now that we've taken a look at their reliable PCI-E WiFi card. The best part : It's currently available for $6 after MIR at one popular e-tailer.

It's good to know Abit can still make a great board and one that is completely designed with the enthusiast and overclocker in mind. It's no MAX board, but for £120 it's a damn sight cheaper than the IN9-32X MAX and should overclock to at least similar levels. With such a tailoring to this niche of user we can forgive Abit for some of the board's shortcomings, like very few USB ports and PCI-based Ethernet controllers. Also, if you consider the attention to detail with design tweaks like the enhanced power regulation, uGuru and large voltage adjustment potential, including the ability to adjust GTL Reference voltage.

In my mind, all motherboards are created the same. You buy one for your processor and your RAM. However, this is one time when I'm wrong? Today I have Abit's AN-M2HD which features the media moguls favourite; HDMI.

Abit released its latest Fata1ty product, being the FP-IN9 SLI. As a member of the Fatal1ty line this board is specifically designed for the hard-core gamers out there. SLI and First packet technology for less than ?120, is it possible?

There's a lot to like about the Abit Airpace WiFi card, not least that it finally makes our PCI-Express x1 slots a lot less useless and solves our network cable woes. With a decent length of cable and a steady, reliable connection provided by it we found that the card holds its own and not only does what it says, but does it well.

I reviewed abit's AB9 Pro a while back and it was an excellent board. In fact, I've found almost every one of their boards to be excellent in almost every respect. The issues I had in the General Usage area of the review prevent me from giving this board either the Editor's Choice or the Hot Product Award.

abit's flagship IN9 32X-MAX motherboard is a well designed, well engineered piece of equipment to base your next Intel Core 2 Duo rig on. Enthusiast and overclockers, this board was built for you.

From a features point of view, the abit F-190HD motherboard is excellent, with everything you would want from a board targeted towards integrated graphics. The unique feature of HDMI on the RX700 chipset means that you will likely be safe from upgrading the monitor for a long while.

The ABIT AB9 Pro uses a rather distinctive layout, so at first glance some connectors look haphazardly placed. In practice the board is pretty easy to hook up, and where connectors look out of place there is actually extra room to accommodate them - the SATA connectors are a good example. The AB9 Pro has no less than six fan headers strategically located around the PCB, with at least one 4-pin PWM connection for the CPU fan heatsink. The board uses Rubycon electrolytic capacitors.

Now under the Universal abit brand name, the bad ass attitude of ABIT is back with a vengeance. So far we have tested three motherboards under the Universal abit brand - A8N 32X, AB9 Pro and the IN9 32X SLI motherboards and they all performed quite well with the exception of the latter which failed to impressed with very poor overclocking results. Today we have a new motherboard based on Intel's P965 chipset, the same that was used in the AB9 Pro board, but with a few updates to the design and layout. It is aimed at taking on ASUS and Gigabyte's Crossfire dual graphics based Intel P965 motherboard - today we test the AB9 QuadGT and see if ABIT are able to produce a motherboard for your Core 2 processor which packs some punch.

The abit AirPace Wi-Fi Wireless card is an interesting computer accessory for today's expanding market. With virtually every computer user going Wireless in one form or another, there is a growing need for PCI Express Wireless Network cards. Wireless cards are prevalent on notebooks and even some motherboards from ASUS, and the Wireless age is slowly taking over.

The MicroSD and the adaptors come in one plastic shock proof case, it would not withstand a heavy crush but it is good enough to avoid damage if dropped, or in the microSD thought loss... (Editors note: lol them microSD cards are very small, I lost one when it pinged out of my phone, I am sure Samsung put a pump action spring in the slot).

Today we are going to put their latest board, the IN9 32X-MAX Wi-Fi, based on the still newish nForce 680i chipset designed to take Core 2 platform to the next level, can it handle this or will it fizzle out under pressure? When we first had a chance to preview this board back a few months ago, we were very excited about the possibilities with claims that the board could reach around 550MHz FSB under the right conditions but now that we have a retail sample in our labs for testing, does it stand up to the hype? It comes with some extra features such as the AirPace Wi-Fi 802.11g wireless kit and revised digital power management but how does it stack up when we overclock?

The ABIT AW9D-MAX motherboard is based on Intel's top of the line 975X Express and ICH7R chipsets, packs in quite a lot to get excited about. This high end desktop chipset enables the AW9D-MAX to accommodate 533/800/1066MHz FSB Intel socket 775 processors. The four memory slots can be filled with up to 8GB of unbuffered ECC/non-ECC DDR2-800 RAM. Standard equipment on the motherboard includes dual PCI Express based GigABIT network cards, ABIT's AudioMAX High Definition 7.1 channel audio controller, eight 3GB/s SATAII channels, Firewire IEEE 1394a and two additional two port Silicon Image SiI3132 Serial ATA II/RAID controllers.

The abit iDome has a lot to live up to in this review, as the whole kit it is roughly 146-160 GBP and 270 dollars respectively Vs a 160 GBP 280 dollar sub let alone the cost with the 2 Technic's satellite speakers. Let us get on with the review and find out if these speakers are hype or if they really do bring superb sound to the PC and home.
