ABIT Motherboard Review

Diy-Computer-Repair can help!

For me, an ABIT Motherboard delivers exceptional value with their products. I have used ABIT motherboards for one of my servers for a number of years. The cost for a "Name brand" server is prohibitive for the new or small business owner for the everyday use that the power of a dual processor motherboard delivers. I currently have an ABIT dual processor as my main server, it is running two PIII 1Ghz processors. These are not XEON processors just the regular desktop processors. The ABIT dual processor motherboard has other features built in that you would have to pay extra for on other dual processor motherboards. One of the features that I feel is exceptional is the built in RAID array controller. It has the High Point RAID array controller built into the motherboard, this controller as a stand alone card would cost more that the motherboard. It also was one of the first motherboards to incorporate the USB 2.0 standard, even my two year old lap top doesn't have that!

This ABIT motherboard is not a dual processor board but with Hyper-Threading capability it would be considered as fast as a dual processor mother board, with the SATA drive raid, 2gig memory capacity, and built in graphics I would consider this board for a replacement for my main server. As a small business owner I think that this motherboard would server me just as well as a Xeon processor motherboard at half the price.
