Legit Reviews Nathan Kirsch has thrwon up his ABIT IS7 W/ "PAT"? review ! Here's a snip.
The ABIT IS7 could be the best enthusiast i865/i875 chipset motherboard released by any company thus far. Now that Tom's Hardware has uncovered the truth about PAT technology, a handful of companies have begun to unlock PAT technology on the Intel i865 (Springdale) chipsets. Last week ABIT-USA sent an unreleased BIOS for the ABIT IS7 that "increases performance." It seems that from our testing that ABIT was able to activate PAT technology on the ABIT IS7 and the results are outstanding. Today we bring you the ABIT IC7-G running on BIOS's 11 & 13 versus the ABIT IS7 with BIOS's 10 & the famed unreleased beta BIOS 13 to see which is faster and has more punch per dollar. The results are amazing and we held our planned Monday review and bumped up the ABIT IS7 review as the results may drastically affect your next purchase.
