新版 bios 已經可以設定到 412 MHz

Beta BIOS for IS7-G, IS7G_13.B01 (524,288 bytes)

New Fixes/Features
1. Supported IS7-G/IS7/IS7-E mainboard.
2. Updated CPU micro code (CPU: 0F29H, ID=11H).
3. Added CPU multiplier 8X for engineering sample CPU and maximum CPU
frequency 412 MHz.
4. Revised setup menu for on-chip Serial ATA.
5. Fixed on-chip SATA boot issue while another bootable hard drives exist
and attached to IDE-1 or IDE-2.
6. Updated memory reference code and ICH5 BIOS spec to v1.2.
7. Fixed PS/2 mouse malfunctioning problem while the USB cable of Media XP
attached to mainboard.
8. Fixed DOS 6.22 booting failure from FAT16 partition.
9. Fixed BIOS hang-up problem which is caused by specific CPU cooling fan
reporting error RPM to BIOS when CPU FanEQ 60% enabled.
10. Revised the following default settings in BIOS setup page.
- Bootable Add-in Device: PCI Slot Device
- CPU FanEQ Active Temperature: 70 C
- CPU Warning Temperature: 85 C
11. Added 80, 85, and 90 degrees C into "Shutdown Temperature".
12. Enabled "IDE Block Mode" and hided the option.
13. Revised ICH5R RAID BIOS display issue.
14. Revised power-on delay time from 4~5 seconds to 1~2 seconds after AC
power lost and resumed.
15. Added description for "Bootable Add-in Device".

300外頻應該非常足夠了,一般人應該用不到這麼高,除非用工程版又想超高外頻者.
ABIT這塊版子和華碩不一樣處,1394用的是TI的,不是VIA的,音效用的是realtek的ALC650含光纖輸出入,當然也有5.1聲道,3COM網路晶片10/100,ICH5..等.
光看規格及外觀應該覺得用料實在也應該不是COSTDOWN的做法,不過現在比較另人好奇的有二點:1.是否真能開PAT? 2.能否改良效能墊底的命運?
畢竟之前875時,包括前陣子的865PE的效能不彰是事實,TOM還懷疑ABIT的BIOS根本還沒寫好,對於RAM方面還有問題,導致效能狂降是最後一名,而且是差"非常多"
甚至只有人家的8成效能,這未免太誇張了吧,這樣的東西也敢拿出來賣?
目前市面不好買的原因會不會是因為它們自己也知道產品還大有問題?
不過ABIT通常無法搶第一時間,但是可以持續不斷的改良,例如現在的NF7-S2.0就是一個後來居上的例子,但願ABIT也能早日瀰補上這一段落差!
還是願意等待這塊版子,前提是快把效能調校出來吧!你們這次未免輸得太難看了,未曾看過你們在效能測試方面敗得脫褲子,太難看了啦!

再轉貼一下一篇測試結論:關於ABIT IS7

The Good Things
Dual Channel DDR 400
Orange PCB
SerialATA w/RAID
800Mhz Pentium 4 Processor Support
Active Northbridge cooling
Onboard Firewire
Impressive set of overclocking controls

The Bad Things
Low latency memory incompatibility
No AGP Pro slot
AGP slot blocks memory clips

看來優點及用料雖吸引人,但缺點雖少卻都是嚴重的致命傷:
1.記憶體控制大有問題,效能應該是市面上墊底的(希望趕快修正)
2.顯示上居然會卡到記憶體的扣件?這也太誇張了吧,你們的機構板子LAYOUT都沒檢查過尺寸嗎?隨便想也知道要有點距離纔好裝RAM及顯示卡.

Tom's hardware guide 跟 ABIT 之間有XX
關係不是很好
所以約兩年前之後你絕不會看到 Tom's hardware 講 ABIT 的好話
不說難聽話就不錯了

從那個時間點起
你可以明顯發覺 Tom's hardware guide 開始對華碩跟技嘉變的友好

至於效能問題
ocworkbench.com 已經有貼出新 bios 的測試結果了
