abit has made available here in Malaysia their abit AX78 motherboard which is based on the AMD AMD 770 chipset. This is abit's first motherboard with native support for AMD Phenom quad-core processors delivering performance for true quad-core processors, HyperTransport 3, Dual Channel DDR2 1066 memory, PCI Express 2.0 and CrossFire X.
The board comes with abit's patented Silent OTES heatpipe, 4-phase PWM for AM2+ processors, 100% Japanese made capacitors for lasting durability and the external EZ CCMOS switch to reset your BIOS without the need to open your computer case. The abit AX78 is equipped with two PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots (1 x16, 1 x4 bandwidth) supporting ATI CrossFire X dual graphics.
For further upgrades with add-on cards, one additional PCIe x1 und three PCI slots are provided for. The integrated high definition audio is scalable up to 7.1 channels for a fully cinematic surround sound soundscape. Supporting a total of 10 USB 2.0 ports of which 4 are already accessible through the back panel the user has sufficient connectivity for other multimedia devices of all kinds.
The board is already available in Malaysia at a RRP of RM310. Read on for specs and more info.

The complicated procedure of tuning or even just adjusting the BIOS
settings frequently gives users a hard time. With this ease-to-use BIOS-based
interface, you have direct
access to all major system parameters.
External
CCMOS Switch
You are able to clear the CMOS memory directly from the back panel, using abit's innovative new
EZ switch. If you are pushing your hardware to the extreme and experiment with
risky settings, you do not need to open the computer case to go back to save
grounds.
abit
Slient OTES
The abit patented
heat pipe absorbs and conducts heat from the NB to a special heatsink at the
PWM area where the airflow from the CPU fan rapidly exhausts the heat from the
computer case.
4-Phase-PWM
On the abit AX78
motherboards, abit
provides 4-phase-PWMs. With 4-phase-PWMs, the system is providing better power
supply and increased stability. Moreover, each phase is composed of one
high-side MOS and two low-side MOS. This design adds to a better power
switch efficiency.
PWM
Heatsink
To provide end-users with the best and the most stable system environment, abit designed a
dedicated heatsink on the PWM area. Generated heat is efficiently dissipated
and the system remains cool and stable all the time.
