What a TERRIBLE spot for the Floppy connector...

What a TERRIBLE spot for the Floppy connector...

I suspect the intended application of such a board is for a HTPC where a floppy is probably not used.

Besides, with Vista, the floppy is obsolete... the only thing that previously required a floppy was driver installations during setup and that can now be handled with a flash drive. Even BIOS can be updated from a flash drive... who needs a floppy anymore?

[Lightman]

Most advanced integrated solutions for Intel CPUs !

I'm wonder how it will cope with overclocking....

BTW this board looks very RED

Well, that would make sense, but im pretty sure thats where it was on my AW9D MAX too..

I'm happy to see some real attention directed towards mATX....

The new default mobo for elite gamers who need a HTPC rig?

[JuanFlaiter]

Nice mobo for an HTPC

[zakelwe]

I wonder what Anal1ty Wendel adds to the design ? Maybe he spots campers hiding behind the southbridge heatsink and blasts them with his railgun before rocketboosting over the DIMM sockets.

ahahahaaha.

[JoeBar]

Not another fatal1ty product...

[itznfb]

i'm also happy to see more attention to given to the matx form factor. i'd be much more excited if it didn't have that UT jackoff's name on it. but i'd rather see more narrow boards, rather than short boards. ie: giga s3. this size is much more useful in an htpc case than the matx boards.

John enjoys watching pr0n in his HTPC too... Remember what the internet is for?

[citat3962]

They put their high end gamer label on a board that is obviously targeting the HTPC market.....

uhhhh ok...

I like the onboard HDMI and X700 though looks like Toslink too... pretty cool if you have a high end home entertainment center with digital Audio and an HDMI capable HDTV.

the only non HTPC friendly thing about this is the SINGLE PCI.... so where do I put my TV capture card after I add a premium sound card?

And what's with the optimistic inclusion of TWO PCI-e 1x slots... GIVE ME MORE PCIs if all the asshats at the various expansion card companies aren't going to make PCI-e 1X devices why include them on motherboards?

High-end soundcard maybe?

im sorry but "with vista floppies are obsolute" who told you that line of uneduacted poo.

you still need a floppy to flash the bios, you still can use floppies for what ever.

vista has absolutely nothing to do with needing a floppy or not, its absolutely determined by what you do with your system. as for Raid drivers you also need to realise that raid driver programs look for a floppy to install on NOT a thumb drive or anything else. You can can manually copy and paste them into a thumb drive for sure but not all work like that.
Even the CD's that come with motherboards ask you for a floppy to copy the raid drivers onto,
and for all you windows flashing junkies, good luck. most flashers dont work in Vista.

The ironic thing is that AMD have macci working for them now but you do not see a Macci motherboard even though he probably has a lot more influence on what we want than these two bit gamers and their OEM manufacturer buddys

Go figure.

Is this really the best Abit can do?
Release more Anal1ty products

[Dillusion]

Finally a good board for mATX C2D users. I myself dont like ATX motherboard, too big, so mATX is nice...

Hopefully it can OC or its not worth it at all..

[deathman20]

What a TERRIBLE spot for the Floppy connector...

Terrible spot is right. It shouldn't even be on the board.

Outside of the OCing world, no one knows Macci. On the other hand, tons of people know fatal1ty. CPL WT finals were on MTV, he did an interview on 60 minutes, and many other television and magazine appearances. He's also hosting the direct TV CGI. Fatal1ty is practically a household name.
