ABIT IS7-G (Intel Springdale 865) Motherboard Review

Today 3dXtreme has the great pleasure of reviewing the ABIT IS7-G motherboard. The ABIT IS7-G is based on the Intel Springdale (865) chipset. Our IS7-G is already loaded with the new version 1.4 bios that unlocks Game Accelerator Technology also known as GAT. ABIT has managed to unlock a PAT like feature previously only found on the pricer Intel 875 Canterwood motherboards. With this new jump in performance the IS7-G has become a real contender beating out some of the $200+ Intel Canterwood boards, however is there a price to pay for this extra "free" performance? Well take a look at that a bit later.....
