My first look at an LGA775 board other than the Intel D925XCV has been very mixed. Great ABIT presentation and the full gamut of new platform features, marred by performance that was slightly below par and overclocking that was non-existant. There's a little to smile about though. The Matrix Storage is excellent and ABIT use Realtek's seemingly brilliant (without a proper analysis at this point in time) ALC880 HD Audio CODEC. There's plenty of FireWire400 and USB2.0 and the bundle doesn't skimp on what you need to make use of the board, populating all four SATA ports included.
