Specifications:


The IC7 is ABIT's version of the Intel performance chipset platform. With the SATA RAID, Dual DDR 400, AGP 8X, IEEE1394a and SoftMenu Technology, this board is the performer of the year. Using the groundbreaking Hyper_threading Technology and gushing with extra capacity and peripherals support as well as first class onboard sound, this board can easily be your foundation for a superb system.

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.
