Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., November 18, 2002 - ABIT Computer Corporation, a leading manufacturer of high-performance motherboards, is proud to unveil the newest in its line-up with the NF7 series motherboards. Based on the NVIDIAR nForceT2 SPP chipset, supporting the latest AMD Athlon XP CPUs with a 333MHz front-side bus, and featuring new dual 400MHz DDR memory controllers, ABIT's NF7 series gives multimedia perfection and the maximum edge.

The NF7/ NF7-S and NF7-M are Fully Loaded


Key Features of the NF7/ NF7-S/ NF7-M

FSB 200/266/333
Dual DDR 200/266/333/400
AGP 8X
Serial ATA 150 (NF7-S)
SoundstormT Technology
Integrated GeForce 4 MX Graphics (NF7-M)
IEEE1394 (NF7-S)
ABIT Engineered Features


At the core of the NF7 is the NVIDIA nForce2 SPP chipset with MCP-2T, which provides cutting-edge technologies for unparalleled multimedia performance. Dual 400MHz memory controllers deliver up to a 50% increase in memory bandwidth, and optimized 128-bit architecture means reduced memory latency. Three DDR DIMMs allow support for up to 3GB of 333MHz or 2GB of 400MHz DDR memory, and advanced memory architecture provides the power to drive the latest 3D games and multimedia applications with unequalled smoothness and realism. Hard disk performance, traditionally a performance bottleneck, is turbo-charged thanks to the on-board Serial ATA PCI controller supporting data transfer rates of up to 150MB/sec.


ABIT Engineered for Performance, Stability and the Maximum Edge

ABIT Maximum Edge Features

Overclocker's Front Side Bus
5 Bit Frequency ID (FID)
Guaranteed Voltage Settings
3 Phase Power solution
ABIT CPU H.T.P


Only ABIT allows for the Front Side Bus to be adjusted up to 237 MHz-at least 17 MHz higher than the closest competition. This overclocker friendly FSB is made possible through ABIT's use of a 5 bit Frequency ID (FID); other motherboards use a 4 bit FID. While others may offer higher voltage adjustments, only ABIT guarantees that all of our settings will work. Our ABIT Engineers are overclockers too, and have tested all the settings. The reason for this guaranteed overclockabity? ABIT's 3 phase power solution is back. This ABIT Engineered solution ensures more power to the CPU (up to 75-80 W v. 60 W with a 2 phase solution) while overclocking, providing rock-solid system stability. This means fewer crashes for ABIT users and higher overclocks. Finally, with ABIT's CPU H.T.P (CPU Hardware Thermal
Protection) Technology for ABIT AT7-MAX2/KD7 and nForce 2 series motherboards, CPU burn-out through cooling malfunction is averted; ensuring your high performance ABIT motherboard won't crash and burn.

An Unreal Platform

With the MCP-2T's Audio Processing Unit (APU) and professional S/PDIF Out, the NF7 delivers rich 6-channel, Dolby Digital 5.1 audio. And with SoundStormT technology, the NF7 enables real-time AC-3 audio encoding, up to 256 simultaneous audio streams, and full support for the DirectXR 8.0, making games and multimedia applications come to life. Video performance is blown wide open with AGP 8X support, and high-speed peripherals are enabled by the NF7 with on-board IEEE 1394a and USB 2.0 functionality. On-board 10/100 LAN means that the NF7 is ready for high-speed Internet, and 5 PCI slots provides nearly unlimited system flexibility. To top it all off, ABIT' s exclusive SoftMenuT allows users ultimate control over vital system parameters, including CPU frequency, Vcore voltages, and memory timings.

Optimal BIOS settings

With the NVIDIA nForce2 SPP chipset, optimized dual memory controllers, integrated Dolby Digital 5.1 audio, AGP8X, advanced high-speed I/O capabilities and ABIT Engineering, the NF7 powers through your multimedia applications with power to spare, giving you the maximum edge.
