Quote:The new trick is actually not new after all, the MAX series within ABIT's repertoire has already lost its revolutionary touch and is more of a compromise now than the first examples were then - stripped totally of any legacy support, including the PS/2 connectors. Accept the compromise, and only leave out the parallel and serial legacy, change the PCB color to black and slap on a better-designed active cooler on the MCH and there is a barebones idea for the latest spawn of the IC7 family. Replace the venerable HIP6301CB voltage controller with the more sophisticated ISL6556BCB from the same manufacturer and stick the entire VRM into a windtunnel-like design that blows the hot air out of the case, and all of a sudden, the little pieces are falling together to create an entirely new sensation of what a mainboard could look like.
