IX48-MAX Motherboard Introduction

With the Intel X48 chipset and the 45nm CPU entering the market place, the performance of desktop computers will pick it up a notch, entering an entirely new generation of performance power. For this reason, abit specially designed the IX48-MAX motherboard, to facilitate power users with the ultimate endurance and control to this prevailing platform.

@azkeyz Video cards change so rapidly, abit released SLI and Cross-Fire boards, and AMD boards.

The computer industry is all about having hardware fail on you nowadays after the warranty is out, it's disgusting. Google "planned obsolescence". You are lucky to get 4 years out of a board, by comparison I have a nearly 30 year old C64 that still boots and runs quite happily... hmm..

Manufacturers should use quality components, and not be deathing their boards deliberately. It's atrocious.

I miss abit. Just wish they had fixed some of the board longevity issues they experienced, otherwise they were really incredible boards. The uGuru thing kinda sucked, great concept, but not that well executed.

They were one of the first to actually recognise and address the bad cap issues, and tried to put as many features on the boards as they could including eSATA.

Lets talk about the part where these board makers are not able to support future video cards and forcing users to buy their brand of video cards or get no compatability with power saving features of the board.

it's all over for the computer industry because of monopoly tactics and technology moving too fast for anyone to keep up , and the cost in these tuff economic times is murder.

digital pulse width modulation = no more stable than inductors/capacitors/etc , with no performance benefit. I think they just wanted to put DIGITAL PWM on the box; not just Abit, but EVGA aswell.

p35 have no fucking way SLI dude?

[OddityX]

this guy has no idea what he is talking about.

[jasa00]

why would a Server Computer use SLI :\

Plus Xeon is a processor.

[userjoe1020]

Yeah, Intel licensed SLI from Nvidia. I think for use on their Xeon boards.
