Viper Lair takes a look at the ABIT IS7 Springdale today, and if their benchmarks are any indication, this mainstream board demonstrates that the Canterwood is not the only game in town.

Let us remind you one thing that was obvious today? make sure your ABIT IS7's BIOS is updated to v1.3. Not everyone will have an ABIT Canterwood to compare against, but it seems likely to me that an ABIT IS7 with the Game Accelerator BIOS will make a strong argument of considering a Springdale, specifically the IS7, rather than a Canterwood.
