Advantages: cant fit them all here theres a big list in the review Disadvantages: nope none
...but not in performance the abit wins for me as it was designed by the world champion gamer jonathan fatal1ty wendel more care has been put in this board than any other board i have ever owned
even if you dont use your computer for games this board for its low price of 68 quid is well worth a go and the performance is there if needed
you could even use it in a server as it will support 32 gb of memory and the latest 3.0ghz ... ...and downloading lower pings
abit are now peeing all over asus at the moment and as a asus user for may years i have now been converted to abit
this is the newest motherboard to my collection and the 1 i use the most when i got this one i noticed that all the specs and the layout of the board are identical to the asus board i reviewed earlier but more care has been put into this board a soon as you poen the box i noticed better packaging no cheap coragated cardboard wraped around this one it looked as it was a trophy in its own cabinet once you remove the board from the box there is a hidden door behind the board holding all the extra accesories inc 4x sata cables (asus only had 2) 1 ide cable for your cd drive and 1 floppy cable and 1 sli bridge for joining 2gfx cards together
on the picture of the product there a 3 black heatsinks the 1 on the bottom left the asus board does not have also this board has a spdif output (optical output for sound) which asus doesnt have also bearing in mind that these boards are identical both in looks and specs but not in performance the abit wins for me as it was designed by the world champion gamer jonathan fatal1ty wendel more care has been put in this board than any other board i have ever owned
even if you dont use your computer for games this board for its low price of 68 quid is well worth a go and the performance is there if needed
you could even use it in a server as it will support 32 gb of memory and the latest 3.0ghz quad core extreme cpu
no overclocking skills needed. Instead, a supercharged, factory overclocked system bus provides the hidden powers automaticly
my only bad point is that when over clocking in the bios it is a litle more difficult than the asus but same overclocks are possible
good points
nice blood red colour this board does support sli ready memory as i have 2gig of corsairs sli ready memory installed and works perfect which enables the sli ready menu in the bios nice red boot screen fast good overclocking optical out put for sound exelent packaging makes feel apreciated as a customer exelent helpfull manual all screws needed included unlike others highly upgradable 68 quid the cheapest boards around are what 25 quid yeh aload of crap too got nothing on this board designed for champions easy intalation ethernet socket optimized for online gaming also helps for web bowsing and downloading lower pings abit are now peeing all over asus at the moment and as a asus user for may years i have now been converted to abit

what i have learned over the years building many computers is something that is targeting gamers and being used built and tested by them can take all the abuse you can give it and still be laughing at you and not blow up like other cheap hardware always bear that in mind that gamers always use the best and know all the latest hardware capabilities if its good enough for them its good enough for anyone i vote for abit all the way
its a good cheap way to build a decent up to date gaming machine on a low budget without loosing performance
thankyou for reading my review need any help on computers send us a msg

Review of ABIT Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLI - motherboard - ATX - nForce 650i SLI
Advantages: reasonable price, for quick and easy overclocking, and great performance Disadvantages: it has a SODIMM switch, which perhaps isn't welcomed by everyone as its an old feature.
The Abit Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLI mother board is great start for anyone who wishes to puchurse a new motherboard, or perhaps start to build there own computer and just aren't quite sure what mother board to go for. Well i strongly recomend this product, its priced keenly and is focused almost exculsivly on forming the basis of a decent gaming rig.
The reason that the board is so much cheaper than other LGA775 boards is that it uses the nForce 650i SLI ... ...dosent support SLI memory, but abit has included the option in the BIOS. It dosent work as well as it does on the 680i SLI boards, though the board is a great overclocker, with an easy to use BIOS.
Overall it offers all the features that gamers need, while getting rid of those they dont. The board is also quick and easy to overclock, and offers great performance, which give's you more time and money to spend on other gaming equipment. ...

Advantages: Tonnes of features, Low price and more Disadvantages: Can't think of any
I recently purchased this board as I wanted to build my first gaming rig without hitting the big numbers in price. All I can say about this is WOW... For £50-£60 which you can get this board for now you'd be really stupid to look elsewhere. As with other reviews one of the first things you notice about it is the Care and Attention to detail that is put into its construction and packaging. You feel you've brought something at a premium without the ... ...install and everything you need to use all the features of this board come in the box.
I havent had much chance to overclock with it yet but I hear its blinding. Im just waiting for my Q6600 SLACR edition cpu to turn up so I can have a dabble at overclocking. For a novice rig builder though I cannot rate this board enough. I looked at a lot of other more expensive boards out there, but I am so glad I went with this board instead.
Also the fact ...
