Abit IT7-Max2

Hi,
Looking for first hand opinions good and bad on the Abit IT7 Max2. How has it performed for you? Thanks,
Jack

I doubt anyone has it, it is still a very new board. The it7 on the other hand, well, that uses the reliable i845e chipset, very well performing, although a bit behind the Sis 648. If you plan on using the *very high* amount of USB ports, or you plan on doing some serious overlcoking, this board is for you most likely. I personally would invest in a Sis 648 board, they're a little bit less expensive than most of the i845e and i845pe boards, and perform well, with a pseudo Pc-400 Ddr validation.

Soon enough, Intel will make the i845s...imagine dual channel Sdram...*shudder*

Only prob is the overclocking isn't all that great. The AUS P4PE is $140 retail at newegg.com. looks like a really awesome mobo. There are several reviews of the IT7 MAX2. The IT7 MAx did real well, I'm sure this one's good too.

...And all the King's horses and all the King's men couldn't put my computer back together again...

Which motherboard doesn't overclock well?? I like the Asus P4S8X, overclocks decently (from what i've read), has more than ample features, costs not too much. It7 Max overclocks well, so i'd assume the It7 Max2 overclocks just as well if not better.
