Taipei, Taiwan, April 11, 2003 - After blowing away the competition with its unchallenged triumvirate of uber-overclockable 845 PE boards, the IT7 MAX2, BE7 series and BH7, ABIT has unleashed its long awaited offering for the Intel 875 chipset. The IC7-G is the most fully featured mainboard ever created, hand crafted and ABIT Engineered to meld high-performance workstation stability and power with legendary ABIT performance and overclockability. The result is a creation truly ahead of its time, with features and specs never seen before in a desktop motherboard.

Only ABIT gives users a chance to experience a 1 Gig FSB and 1 Gig DDR memory overclock thanks to advanced ABIT Engineering. Designed with the enthusiast in mind, the IC7-G has the ABIT Engineered features that tweaking–obsessed users demand for GigaOverclocking.

 

The original Jumperless system allows for CPU setting changes completely through the BIOS

For GigaOverclocking! Boost your PC Performance by up to 50%

Only ABIT offers a 5 BIT FID in the BIOS, versus the standard 4 BIT. The result is more overclocking options

For the Highest Overclocks on the FSB and greater system stability

Automatically resets BIOS when a failed Overclock shuts down your system

Never open your case to clear your CMOS again. TweakGuard does it automatically

The most complete multimedia interface USB 2.0, Firewire 1394 IEEE, SPDIF out, card readers for Compact Flash, Panasonic SD, Sony Memory Stick

Take care of all your multimedia needs easily, from the front of your PC

Updating the BIOS on an ABIT motherboard just got even easier! BIOS updates can be done automatically through Windows

ABIT’s One Click BIOS Update for a 1 minute BIOS update

Turn your current IDE hard disk, CD/DVD-ROM and CDRW into Serial ATA Devices.

Experience cool, clean cases and Serial ATA performance gains

Control your CPU Fan Speed with the easy to use ABIT FanEQ™ interface

From high-powered gaming to reading e-mails, FanEQ™ is the ultimate balance between performance and the Silent PC

And with an onboard 4-phase power solution, the IC7-G is not only more stable for overclocking, it is ready for the next generation of CPUs that require more power. Other 875 boards use only 3 or even 2 phases of power and must be considered inadequately powered for both serious overclocking and future generations of CPUs.

The IC7-G comes complete with ABIT Serillel2, which has been improved to support Hot-Plug functionality and ATAPI Devices, such as CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, allowing users to experience the advantages of cool, clean cases with all of their IDE devices! With Serillel2 and the SATA 150 RAID 0/1 controller by Silicon Image, only ABIT allows users to connect up to 8 Hard Disks at once! With on board Intel PRO/1000 CT Desktop Connection Gigabit LAN , ABIT IC7-G users have overclocked LAN: Intel’s PRO Gigabit LAN increases throughput by 50%, with real-world gains of up to 30%. Optical SPDIF In/Out and 6 channel audio.

Only ABIT offers SPDIF In/Out for the ultimate in multimedia connectivity. Due to our extensive experience in audio technology with our speaker systems and AU-10 sound card, ABIT motherboards undergo rigorous testing at the ABIT Audio Research Laboratories in Taipei, Taiwan, ensuring that audiophiles and gamers alike will be satisfied with the richness and clarity of ABIT onboard audio. And, for the ultimate in connectivity to peripheral devices, the IC7-G comes complete with 3 Firewire ports and 8 USB2.0 ports!
