Specifications:


The IS7 series of boards uses the true Intel tested 865PE chipset for Hyper-Threading Pentium processors. Like the IC7 series it comes with, Dual DDR 400, AGP 8X, IEEE 1394a and SoftMenu Technology but only one set of SATA RAID connectors. Using the groundbreaking Hyper Threading Technology and gushing with extra capacity and peripherals support as well as first class onboard sound, this board makes for an easily deployed system in the home or office.

Enhanced 800MHz FSB
The 800MHz FSB increases bandwidth and improves overall system performance.

Serial ATA 150MB/s data transfer rate
Serial ATA is an evolutionary replacement for the Parallel ATA storage interface. This new high-speed interface boosts data transfer rates to up to 150 MB/sec. More flexible power tolerances allow for smaller and more efficient cables.


6-Channel Audio and S/PDIF Out interface
Lets you enjoy 6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards.

USB 2.0 Supports 480MB/s data transfer rate
Supports speeds up to 480 Mb/sec, approximately forty times faster than conventional USB 1.1


ABIT SoftMenu Overclocking
The overclocking function includes CPU frequency, multiplier, CPU Vcore, memory voltage and AGP voltage adjustment available to maximize your system performance.
