[H]ard|OCP does a good write up on Abit's less radical 845PE motherboard. I'd say they were pretty impressed by it.
They have some nice overclocking results to show too. Abit has gotten a lot better over the past year or so, and this looks like a winner here for those looking at a P4 motherboard. The linky.
This board was nothing if not surprising. After playing with its big brother, the IT7-MAX2, I was at first a bit leery. The BE7-RAID had no Firewire, no SATA connections, no onboard diagnostic LED, and less tweaking options in the BIOS. However, for what it didn’t offer in extras, this board made up for in raw speed. Even at stock speeds, it edged out most other boards in the benchmarks. I cannot complain about stability issues either, this board is solid as a rock.
