Absolutely outstanding from abit, a true enthusiast’s board, some enthusiasts might have a problem with the limited Memory timing options, but what is in the bios is more than enough for most. This board certainly puts abit back on the top of the pi...

Abits Max series of motherboards has always been quite different and daring in terms of design and features. The AW9D-Max doesnt surprise here as it has some rather quirky features. The rear I/O layout is very basic, with two PS/2 ports, four USB 2...

The Abit AW9D-Max is a very good motherboard, although theres an issue with CrossFire performance, the price is quite high and the connector layout could be better. At least you get quite a feature-rich board for your money. ®...

Abit has put together another great product. With the use of the Intel 975x chipset, this board definitely out shines some of the other hardware on the market today. It is not a high fsb clocker unless you resort to volt mods. That being said, you can...

Its hard to ignore the slot layout on the AW9D Max when thinking about it as a whole, but ignore it we will. We champion better slot layouts here at HEXUS all the time, but its clear that when its a high-end board the consumer almost always goes in...

I really liked the fast stock performance of this board. The sleek white and black look of this board is carried over from the PCB to the BIOS. The only place I could really find this board lacking was in the expansion department. One PCI slot does not...
