abit AB9 Pro Motherboard Review

With all of the excitement of the recent launch of the NVIDIA 680i motherboard chipset and the launch of the 8800GTX and GTS, its time to go back to the basics, motherboard reviews. Motherboards are the heart and soul of what Motherboards.org is all about, hence our name. Intel is the number one manufacturer of motherboard chipsets and CPUs in the world. Having successfully launched the Quad Core QX6700, Intel is in the driver's seat for performance on the CPU front at the moment.

abit is one of my favorite motherboard manufacturers with their Fatal1ty boards and their MAX boards being the best of the breed of the high end chipsets like the nForce 590 SLI and the Intel 975X boards. Today I'm reviewing the abit AB9 Pro with the P965 chipset. This is Intel's mainstream chipset for the Core 2 Duo CPUs and was released a few months ago along with the Core2.
