Features of design ABIT AT7-MAX2
Fig. 3. Design of motherboard ABIT AT7-MAX2
The design of motherboard ABIT AT7-MAX2 developed and released by Abit corporation, as a whole corresponds to the referens-design of similar products created and recommended by corporations, releasing sets of system logic.

In the motherboard architecture units of such corporations, as VIA, RealTek, Avance Logic (division RealTek) and others are used.

The functional mode of memory modules DDR SDRAM can be or synchronous — clock rate coincides with frequency FSB, or asynchronous — clock rate differs from frequency FSB. For a choice and installation of demanded functional modes of the processor, memory and input/output arrangements appropriate BIOS Setup choices use.
Usage as a part of the motherboard of chip High Point HPT 374 allows or to increase number of hooked up arrangements IDE, or to use possibilities RAID.
Besides, vhozhjashchy in sostvav a package a special adapter obespechevaet compatibility of perspective interface Serial ATA with becoming outdated ATA (IDE). This adapter is 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 enthusiasts of dispersal there is a possibility of installation of the forced functional modes of the processor. It is carried out by rise of frequency of processor bus FSB (overclocking) and memory buses, and also a choice of best values of parametres of operation of DDR SDRAM units. For the purpose of rise of stability of system operation chip North Bridge is supplied by the strengthened resources of maintenance of an optimal temperature mode in which quality uses not only the heat sink, but also the fan.

Levels of powers, temperature and operation of the fans which are a part of coolers, resources hardware monitoring inspect.
Integrated into structure of motherboard ABIT AT7-MAX2 network tools allow to include easily the computer through built in RJ45 (LAN plug in local area network structure.
And as to an estimation of the main operation parametres of the described motherboard it is necessary to mark, that at performance of numerous, durable tests card ABIT AT7-MAX2 worked steadily not only in regular, but also in the forced modes. To estimate dependability of the tested card rather difficultly on the basis of operation of a unique accessible copy. For the answer to this question it is necessary to access or to the computer corporations realising this product, or it is direct to the manufacturer — Abit corporation.
Correct and optimal choice of the motherboard with an appropriate chip set — pledge of high efficiency of the computer, its reliable and a stable operation, and also frictionless upgrade.
Motherboard ABIT AT7-MAX2 is given by the Moscow representation of Abit corporation.
