| P4 DDR Perfection: ABIT's BD7-RAID Taipei, Taiwan, Monday, January 7, 2002 - ABIT announces its latest motherboard engineered to take your system to the next level of stability and performance. Combining the best of P4 architecture with the speed and value of DDR memory, ABIT's BD7-RAID is a compelling platform to drive your most demanding applications. Advanced Specs with ATA 133 RAID Utilizing Intel's 845 chipset, the BD7-RAID supports the latest Socket 478 Intel Pentium 4 CPUs. The BD7-RAID handles up to 2GB of PC1600 or PC2100 DDR memory, and provides 2 Channels of Bus Master Ports supporting Ultra DMA 33/66/100 for outstanding disk throughput. The BD7-RAID's HPT 372 controller not only adds RAID 0,1, and 0+1 functions, but can also adds 2 extra Channels of Bus Master Ports supporting Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133! With the BD7-RAID, your system can support to up to 8 IDE devices, offering you excellent expansion possibilities. ABIT Engineered 4 Phase Power Solution ABIT Engineering has done it again by bringing it's 4 Phase Power Solution to the Intel Pentium 4 platform. When amperage is provided to the CPU, system heat continually builds. Traditionally, there are two MOSFETs that handle the amperage to make it even for normal CPU operation. However, with today's CPUs, more amperage is required, resulting in higher system temperatures. The BD7-RAID's 4 Phase Power solution takes this amperage and splits it between eight MOSFETs, allowing the amperage to be handled by any two MOSFETs for a shorter period of time. The result? A cooler, more stable system. Protect your investment with the BD7-RAID's 4 Phase Power Solution. More Features The BD7-RAID includes other exciting features. 3 USB ports come standard on the BD7-RAID, providing expandability for your USB devices. An AC'97 digital audio controller is built right in, and ABIT's famous SoftMenuTM III gives you the flexibility to adjust vital CPU parameters quickly and easily. Hardware monitoring reports fan speeds, voltages, and system environment temperatures, and the onboard LEDs and power on/off buttons make troubleshooting a breeze. The BD7-RAID also features 1 AGP slot, 6 PCI slots and 1 CNR slot for future hardware flexibility. More Models ABIT's BD7 motherboard series comes in several versions to provide the features and form factors you're looking for. | | BD7L-RAID | BD7-RAID | BD7 | BD7m | | Chipset | i845 | i845 | i845 | i845 | | DIMMs | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | | AGP | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | PCI | 6 | 6 | 6 | 3 | | CNR | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | AC'97 Audio | Y | Y | Y | Y | | RAID | HPT 372 | HPT 372 | - | - | | 10/100 LAN | Y | - | - | Y | | 4 Phase Power | Y | Y | Y | - | | SoftMenuTM III | Y | Y | Y | - | | Form Factor | ATX | ATX | ATX | mATX | Check out what ABIT Engineering can do for you with the BD7-RAID.
