Built to deliver breathtaking performances, the ABIT AW8D motherboard is intended for systems running Intel Pentium 4 LGA775 CPUs at 1066/800MHz FSB. Supporting Intel Pentium D and Pentium EE processors with Hyper-Threading Technology, the proprietary µGuru software offers unparalleled authority, convenience, and control over your PC; with the ABIT SilentOTES system, heat is drained from the back panel with ease. This blazing motherboard takes the Intel 975X chipset to the absolute peak of performance without so much as breaking a sweat, on it or you.
The motherboard has a Socket 775 design and the Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) style socket that enables easy installation and upgrades of your system. The Intel 975X Northbridge and ICH7R Southbridge chipset complete the board. A total capacity of up to 8GB of DDR2 RAM can be installed on the system through four 240-pin DIMM sockets. Shocking sound is delivered via the Dolby Master Studio Support and 8-channel AudioMAX output. This is an outstanding, full-featured board with all the "toys" you'll need to make it do anything you want!

To the user below
- Pros: Unless your CPU has a FSB of 1066, it cant run 800 DDR2. If your FSB is 800mhz, then u can only run 667 or below. that is to say u can oc your cpu to a 1066 FSB, then your 800 DDR2 will work at the actual speed rather then not getting the top performance.
- Cons: Love the board too much
- Other Thoughts: Non other
Excellent Board
- Pros: Very solid components, plenty of 3-pin fan connectors. Good space around the CPU for any type of heatsink or cooler (water, peltier). Run CPUZ and it lists this board as AW8D-MAX. Abit tech support said that this particular model is the only revision of this board they will produce.
- Cons: The Abit site says this has SLI but could not confirm that through their tech support (although the board did come with an SLI connector).
- Other Thoughts: I am not sure why this board is so much cheaper than other boards. I've used the ASUS 975x and I find this board with far less issues (none actually) and much more stable. Compared with the Marvell issues that the ASUS board has, installation of this board and installing the operating system (WinXP) was a breeze.

Great Board But...
- Pros: Sharp Looking Board , very good price, comes with nice little daughter board for sound, all the bells and whistles you could want i could see this board selling for more with all it comes with.
- Cons: does NOT support Duo Core 2 processors. This board would be godly if it could use Duo Core 2 processors.
- Other Thoughts: I had to send this board back unfortunately since i couldn't use it with my new processor. but newegg as always TOP NOTCH customer service and prompt RMA. I ended up with MB ABIT AW9D 975X 775 again bought from newegg. A little more expensive still a solid ABIT board pretty easy over clocking, whish it came with a nice little daughter board for sound too but on board so far is good enough.
Great Board!
- Pros: excellent board, lots of features, low price.. SATA, USB, IEEE 1394 and 2 16x PCI-E Slots! What more could you want? Maybe a Pentium D 805 to overclock the life outta! Great BIOS setup, it saved my CPU when the stupid intel HS/Fan came lose on the chip, it killed power to the CPU and saved the chip from a hot death! On board sound is actually quite decent, I'm impressed.
- Cons: Use rounded cables for IDE drives, standard cables will get in the way!
- Other Thoughts: Works perfect with G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 RAM. I got it in here and it's running fine!
Good Board
- Pros: This is a well layed out board with all the features I was looking for to upgrade a friend's system.
- Cons: I should have read the fine print as I assumed Newegg's CPU specs on this board were a typo. This is the only 975x chipset motherboard that doesn't support the Core2Duo CPU.
- Other Thoughts: Promptly returned the board. Newegg was excellent on this and purchased a nVidia based board instead that's working great.
