ABIT: AMD Motherboards


Equipped with ATI's brand-new XPress3200 chipset, the AT8 32X is the right choice for Crossfire.
  • AMD Socket 939, ATI Xpress3200 RD580
  • 4x DDR DIMM
  • 2x PCI-E x16, 2x PCI-E x1, 2x PCI
  • 6x SATA, 2x UDMA
  • 1x GigE
  • 8x USB 2.0, 2x Firewire
  • ATI Crossfire Certification

The SLI counterpart of the AT8 32X is the AN8 32X
  • AMD Socket 939, NVIDIA nForce4 SLI x16
  • 4x DDR DIMM
  • 2x PCI-E x16, 2x PCI-E x1, 2x PCI
  • 6x SATA, 2x UDMA
  • 1x GigE
  • 10x USB 2.0, 2x Firewire
  • NVIDIA SLI Certification

Ready for AMD AM2 is the AN9 32X Fatal1ty.
  • AMD Socket AM2, NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP
  • 4x DDR2 DIMM
  • 2x PCI-E x16, 2x PCI-E x1, 1x PCI
  • 6x SATA, 1x UDMA
  • 2x GigE
  • 10x USB 2.0, 2x Firewire

A bit more on the budget side but still using AM2 is the KN9 SLI which supports only x8/x8 when in SLI.
  • AMD Socket AM2, NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP
  • 4x DDR2 DIMM
  • 2x PCI-E x16 (x8/x8 SLI), 2x PCI-E x1, 2x PCI
  • 6x SATA, 1x UDMA
  • 2x GigE
  • 10x USB 2.0, 2x Firewire

If you want the NVIDIA 6100 chipset which has integrated VGA, the NF95 might be a good choice.
  • AMD Socket 939, NVIDIA nForce 6100 MCP
  • 2x DDR DIMM
  • Integrated nForce 6100 VGA
  • 1x PCI-E x16, 3x PCI
  • 2x SATA, 2x UDMA
  • 1x GigE
  • 10x USB 2.0

I am really looking forward to the UL8 Pro it uses the ULI M1697 chipset which became famous on the ASRock 939DualSATA.
  • AMD Socket 939, ULI M1697
  • 4x DDR DIMM
  • 1x PCI-E x16, 3x PCI-E x1, 2x PCI
  • 4x SATA, 2x UDMA
  • 1x GigE
  • 8x USB 2.0
