Abit has taken the time to give enough attention to the details - the layout is superb and the little details really make this board for me. There are some changes required in the BIOS before it makes its way on to the shelves though. We want to see more memory timings made available. Afterall, this is supposed to be an overclocker's board, and not giving enthusiasts the option to tweak memory timings to their hearts content could limit this board's potential in the long run. It would be good to see if Abit can get downward multiplier adjustments on Core 2 Duo processors to work aswell - it'd help to satisfy those looking for incredibly high front side bus speeds.

I'm excited at the prospect of Abit re-uniting itself with the overclocking crowd. It's been a long time since Abit was a household name among overclockers, and the AW9D-MAX is a board that could go a long way to help re-establish the Abit brand at the top. The AW9D-MAX has all of the bases to establish itself as one of the best 975X motherboards out there and it just needs a little time to iron out the issues that we've come across during our short time with the board. Once the issues are ironed out, I can see this board setting some records...

We will revisit the AW9D-MAX for a full review when the product is in mass production and available for purchase.
