As an example of the bar of motherboards MAX2 it is possible to consider model Abit IT7-MAX2 oriented to Intel of Pentium 4 with frequency of the processor bus of 400/533 MHz. This card is created on the basis of a chip set i845Е. Besides, in the card support 2 Serial ATA 150 RAID, 2 ATA 133 (RAID), 2 ATA (100), 1 AGP 4X, 3 DDR DIMM, 4 PCI is carried out , and also six-channel resources Audio and, of course, PS/2 plugs (in MAX — USB) are realised 3 IEEE1394a, 10 USB 2.0, 1 RJ45 LAN . But if PS/2 plugs are traditional solution support Serial ATA is rather new solution in the architecture of motherboards.

For support of compatibility of perspective interface Serial ATA with becoming outdated ATA (IDE) Abit corporation offers the special adapters named Serillel. These adapters provide hooking up through appropriate cables to Serial ATA plugs of arrangements ATA extended now. ROM/R/RW CD, similar CDs concern the given arrangements drives DVD, etc., as is known, widespread HDD .

For the extension of possibilities of motherboards Abit corporation arrangement Abit Media XP is offered. This arrangement fulfilled in konstruktive, providing installation in standard five inch bay of the computer. Presence in Abit Media XP plugs of popular interfaces of audio and video, and also the reader of the information from flesh-cards (CF, MS, SD) and in a remote control package (DU) facilitates usage of the computer as multifunctional multimedia centre  — PC home theatre environment.

But the described processing techniques and products do not settle perspective novelties of Abit corporation. The big attention of an audience has called the description of firm processing technique of cooling OTES (Outside Thermal Exhaust System). This processing technique is realised in Abit Siluro GeForce4 Ti4200 OTES videoadapters developed and released by Abit corporation.
