Greetings everyone.
 
I'd like to request some information, perhaps even a review, on two newlly arrived motherboards: ABIT AB9 QuadGT and ASUS Commando. I'd like some information covering these items:
 
- Overclockability (obviously)
- Ability to run Crossfire (these new boards come with 2 PCI-E x16)
- Multiplier adjustments (ABIT unlocked this feature on AB9 Pro with a BIOS update, and ASUS P5B Series is one of the few to also support this, but what about this boards?)
 
Actually, I'm inclined towards ASUS Commando, because I have numerous PCI 2.2 cards, however, AB9 proved to have better overclocking potential then the P5B Series...
 
thanks!

you mean AB9...

indeed I'll try to edit the post...
 
nevertheless it would have been nice if you had actually shed some light on the topic...
 
thanks for noticing anyway

Greetings. Actually I ordered my Commando yesterday. Here's A link for specs and one for the OC'ing ability. From all that I have found it seems to be an easy OC. The Asus board does indeed support crossfire.

the abit also supports Crossfire but both boards only do so with 1 slot running x16 electrically & the other at x4 electrically.
This has a negative effect on performance compared to the x8+x8 of 975 boards - Anandtech did an article on it.
 
The abit is so new that I haven't seen any user feedback yet & the Commando isn't much better.
