ABIT IC7-G

The IC7-G is ABIT's Canterwood offering. As we know Canterwood or 875P is the top notch platform aimed at workstations and specifications are similar, it would be a re-run of what it can support or what it can't which is listed in the features below.

Being one of the top company that does overclocking, ABIT IC7-G not only overclocks but brings the best overall performance to the IC7-G. Being the only company that supplies the ABIT Serillel2 bundled with the board, ABIT IC7-G is the only board in its class to allow you to take advantage of 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!

While most other boards uses other chipsets and not taking advantage of what CSA can offer, ABIT IC7-G incorporates CSA LAN with the Intel® 82547EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller. CSA enables bi-directional Gigabit networking with higher performance and lower latency.
