Hi everyone, Was just wondering if any of you out there had any experience or an oppinion on the motherboards in the subject? Would it be worth my while to upgrade from the IC7-Max3 to the Fatal1ty board? Apart from the obvious CPU difference, will the end result be a better system? Thanks for...

Rating this against an Asus P4C800-E. Any thoughts?

Just finished installing an Abit IS-10. Switch on the power, no beeps, error message from monitor to check conection to pc. Cpu fan fires up fine. What do I do now, send it back to Newegg.com? -- www.newromesucks.com www.hamsterforpresident.com

I read that Abit boards have bad quality tempurature sensing, and can be as far off as +|-10c, is this true??? If so, is there a way to get an accurate reading? I assume any added software will only use the hardware sensors, I am using Motherboard Monitor 5 showing an average idle temp of 41c...

I was thinking about buying an Abit IT-7 MAX 2 ver.2, since it has all the whistles and buzzers I need --- I don-t really need a 800 MHz FSB-- at a good price. Is there any reason I shouldn't get this board? Thanks in advance

I'm a diehard Abit person but this board has given me fits at various times.The latest issue is another USB one, I have a Saitek ST90 joystick which has no software driver (uses default miscrosoft usb device driver). XP detects it but cannot load the driver. I've tried directing...

Hi, I've had the IT7-MAX2 v2.0 for about 9 months now and have updated to the newest BIOS and newest sound drivers but I'm still met with the same issue I've had pretty much had from day one. When windows plays a sound it seems to clip off the first few milliseconds of the sound to where it is...

Hi guys, I've googled this problem but yet to find a solution. I recently got my hands on an Abit IT7-Max2(onboard sound) and a P4 2.4 for a great deal. Works fine EXCEPT when I change the volume using the Volume Control a system beep emits from the motherboard. WTF is going on? I tried...

Anyone experienced losing the USB host controller in a KD7 MB? System worked fine for about four months. Front USB port began to randomly "disconnect" connected portable HD device.

Hi there, does anyone know if it is possible to activate power loss recovery on a KT7A mainboard? I can't find the appropriate setting in my BIOS. Should I upgrade the BIOS or isn't it supported at all? Maybe there is a hardware method? I tried shortening the Power-On button, but it didn't help....
