Hey all, I would like to voice my support for Abit to create powerful mATX boards for performance concious SFF owners. I currently have a vacant Antec Aria and am seeking a motherboard for it, but most of the mATX boards seem deficient.

I'm looking for..
1 AGP8x or PCI-E 16x slot
2-3 PCI or PCI-E 1x slots
Gigabit LAN
Dual Channel capable DDR
SATA/SATA II 2 channel RAID
Socket 478, 865 or 875P chipsets (LGA775 if neccessary)
LGA775 915 and 925XE chipsets
Socket 939 (Nforce 4 Ultra, ATI Radeon XPESS 200/P)
NO onboard video
NO onboard sound
uGuru or other quality bios and OCing options. Abit always does a good job with this.

I'd love to see some sort of mini-Fatal1ty setup with increased cooling, but that may not be feasable.

If anything remotely resembling the above currently exists please let me know. I am really happy with my IC7-G MAX3 and would like to find an Abit mATX that shows the same quality

sounds good, few more ideas:
Have Heatsinks on the Mosfets (copper) and have fans blowing on them. 3.2v on the RAM

uGuru would be a nice thing to have...I like the voltage and monitoring options. mini Fatalty series boards would be great :D

Any of the Abit gurus able to give a quick reply if something is in the works? At this time the closest thing I see is the IG-80 - has anyone used one of these?
