Hardware: ABIT Discontinues SiS R658 Based SI7
Posted by Adek on Wednesday, May 21 @ 10:10:01 CEST

Abit Following Intel’s intention to cancel its i850E and i860 chipsets with RDRAM support, ABIT deleted all mentions about its SI7 mainboard on its own web-site. Looks like the only mainboard based on SiS’ first RDRAM-supporting chipset is discontinued and will never emerge again.

The decision of the mainboard maker comes without any surprises because performance of ABIT SI7 and SiS R658 chipset was lower compared to competing devices, whereas the price of solutions with RDRAM memory is considerably higher than the price of DDR SDRAM-supporting PCs. Looks like end-users clearly understood that there is absolutely no need to pay for expensive RDRAM and bought very few mainboards. Seeing that the demand was not really high, ABIT decided to discontinue the product keeping in mind the fact that it will not be competitive when dual-channel DDR SDRAM mainboards with 800MHz Quad Pumped Bus hit the market massively later this year.

Reviews: Abit NF7-M nForce2 @ Viper Lair
Posted by Adek on Tuesday, April 29 @ 08:51:36 CEST

Abit We take a look at Abit's latest nForce 2 solution, the NF7-M. It's based on the revision v1.2 PCB, and includes the nVidia nForce 2 IGP.

"For overclockers, you have a wealth of options available in the BIOS, and although the v2.0 PCB adds 200FSB Barton support, as we've seen here, the v1.2 PCB appears to be up to the task. Just remember to disable the onboard IGP if you plan on memory overclocking, and to make sure your BIOS is at least v1.6 to gain access to additional FSB options."
