Decided to buy a high end computer...
Strengths: SATA/RAID0 bios, DDR2, fast, stable, many features.
Weakness: Only PCI express cards work with this MB. Parts of user manual have poor documentation.
Decided to buy a high end computer with high end components. The MB simply rocks! Not too many bad things to say about it. Great chipset - Intel's 925X and ICH6-R. Supports DDR2/533, lots of USB connections. Has 4 SATA ports - I set mine with two WD 74G Raptors (10,000rpm) with RAID0 - fast, fast, fast. Didn't use their Onboard 7.1 HD Audio. Their uGuru program lets you watch your CPU and system...

This is a great board especially...
Strengths: SATA, PCI-Express, 3 Normal PCI, lots of USB 2.0, great features
Weakness: Only 1 IDE connection
This is a great board especially for a novice. I built my first computer with this board. The overclocking features are very nice since you can do simple overclocking in windows. You can set it up to where the computer runs slower when nothing is going on and to overclock itself when certain programs are started. It also has a program to view all of your temps and other stuff. The only down side...

I had never built a system before...
Strengths: Very good documentation included Includes cables: IDE, FDD, SATA(4)
Weakness: Limited number of PCI slots (2) Limited number of IDE Controlers (1)
I had never built a system before and, after searching the web for MOBO recommendations, found that the ABIT AA8-DuraMAX was among the most highly rated. Installation went smoothly and I was pleasantly surprised by all of the little "extras" included: the overclocking software, monitoring system, and the way it senses that you plugged in audio connectors. This product exceeded my expectations and...

Strengths: PCI Express, DDR2, Intel925X, double Raid
Weakness: none so far
I bought this board to try all the new features it had, I was curious what the 775 pin socket and PCI Express slots looked like. I'm not new to Abit, I've bought at least one hundred of their boards in the past. This board has excellent quality and nice lay out and the only thing I dislike are the colors. The price was right also; $157 minus a short lived $50 rebate. One thing I find curious is...

great motherboard for the price....
Strengths: relatively cheap 925x board; 4 sata; supports up to 4 sata RAID 0/1, 4 slots for ddr2 (553mhz) up to 4gb; 7.1 channel audio, 1 pci express 16x slot; excellent overclocking options
Weakness: only 1 ata connection which is ata100 (instead of ata133)
great motherboard for the price. however, be careful when installing the processor. if you break the pins on the board, i noticed that the abit site states they will not replace the board b/c of broken pins...don't know if this is a common practice among motherboard manufacturers. good overclocking software included. includes 4 sata wires, 1 flat ribbon ide cable, 1 flat ribbon floppy cable, & a...
