Advantages: Quiet, Reliable, Easy to Set-Up and Install
Disadvantages: Crowded and cramped layout can lead to wiring issues

The Abit AS8 is a lot of board for the price. Setting up is a breeze - just plug in all the wires and switch it on. It supports the new generation of LGA775 Intel P4 cpus, has on board 6 channel sound which saves on buying a soundcard as it produces very good quality sound in games, dvd and music. It has an AGP 8x graphics interface which also supports AGP4x - can be useful if you're upgrading an old system and want to keep the cost down by canibalising ...
...from the CPU, unlike my Abit IS7 board which has a Northbridge fan but this means it's not really suitable for overclocking. On the down side, the board does not have 1394 firewire support, which is a shame if you want to use a digital video camera for film editing of weddings / holidays etc, and perhaps it's worst crime is the layout of the various sockets. The floppy controller is located right on the edge of the board, we found that we could ... Read review

Advantages: Board layout, feature rich, performance
Disadvantages: Latest 16 BETA 1 BIOS won't allow using above 3GB with all of it being visible

...have a habit of buying Abit or Gigabyte boards. Great for overclocking be it a dual core or quad core CPU. The IP35 PRO has a good layout, there's no problem installing a long graphics card or a large CPU cooler. There's a clear CMOS switch on the rear I/0 shield which comes in handy. A POST LED on the board itself comes in useful should the PC not boot-up as the error code it shows goes some way to indicate where the problem is. Not many boards ...
...a high Vcore. Abit is still to fix the BIOS bug (all BIOS's after 11) that won't allow using more than 3GB in the system with all if it being visible. Currently using 4GB makes the BIOS only report 3GB. The current fix is to use BIOS 11 however this version is buggy in other ways. If only Abit fixed this things would be almost ideal. Overall great board, made for the enthusiast and a viable alternative to Asus boards. Abit's IP35 PRO feels snappier ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, Powerfull, easy to install
Disadvantages: Not for gamers!

This is a good little motherboard for its low price. I am currently using it to write this review. I also have an Intel E2180 Pentium Dual core CPU set up and overclocking it was so easy. The board itself was so cheap that i wasn't sure if it would be up to scratch for my new build computer, but it surprised me! The Instruction manual was easy to follow and had screen shots of everything needed. The Setup disk was also detailed in the manual and ...
...is easy to overclock using the CPU i have. All the BIOS options are available to gain maximum performance for all components. The manual also listed all the supported CPU's and also had screen shots of the BIOS which were helpful. If you are looking for a cheap motherboard for a dual core Intel CPU then this is brilliant! ... Read review
