<blockquote><i>June 17, 2004 - ABIT brings a higher level of performance to the AMD platform with the release of the ABIT AV8. The AV8 is optimized for the latest AMD Athlon™ 64 and 64 FX processors, pushing 64-bit Performance for enthusiasts and gamers. ABIT's µGuru™ has added Autodrive™ to allow ABIT users to have their PC automatically speed up or slow down according to what the user is doing. With ABIT's BulletProof Technology, the AV8 is Torture Test Passed to ensure durability not found on other boards.<p>
"We chose to build our 939-pin AMD solution based on VIA's K8T800 Pro chipset," said Scott Thirlwell, Marketing Director of ABIT Computer. "Our VIA K8T800 Pro solution for the 754-pin Athlon64, the KV8-PRO, was named as 'The Best Athlon64 Platform' and I believe that our VIA K8t800 Pro solution for the 939-pin Athlon 64 will also be the mobo of choice." The ABITGamers Gaming Teams are all using the ABIT KV8-PRO or AV8 motherboards to ensure the highest levels of durability and the most advanced hardware monitoring, tweaking and overclocking features of any desktop motherboard.<p>
µGuru™: Enlightened System Performance<br>

ìGuru™ Technology - designed by the ABIT Engineers for use only on ABIT motherboards – allows end-users to reach a higher state of hardware awareness and enlightenment. µGuru acts as a spiritual guide, sharing with ABIT users, tips for hardware monitoring, overclocking, BIOS flashing and audio tweaking functions in an easy to use, Windows-based interface. <p>

µGuru combines the ABIT Engineered features ABIT EQ™, OC Guru™, FlashMenu™, and BlackBox™ into a user-friendly interface providing users the perfect environment with which to maximize performance and stability. Operating as an independent microprocessor, ìGuru effectively frees your CPU resources from performing these functions, further increasing system performance.<p>

As a part of the motherboard, only ìGuru can completely understand how to optimize the motherboard for ultimate performance. What truly sets ìGuru apart is it's onboard memory that allows users to save their favorite overclocking settings for specific applications. For example, with OC Guru™, users can choose their favorite overclocked setting that will be saved when the PC is rebooted. OC Guru™ ups the ante with ABIT AutoDrive™, which allows you to have overclocking, voltage, and fan settings change automatically per application. Have the system lower fan speeds and noise levels when you are surfing the net, but automatically raise the FSB and crank the cooling up when you launch a 3D game. Only OC Guru™ with ABIT AutoDrive™ gives this level of control.<p>

With BlackBox™, ABIT takes yet another step ahead of the competition in terms of service. BlackBox™ does exactly what you think it might: in the event of a system problem or crash, it records vital system information that the ABIT Engineers can use to determine the extent of the problem. <p>

Furthermore, BlackBox™ also includes an automatic ABIT tech support email feature that relays this information to ABIT at the touch of a button. No more relaying emails back and forth. ABIT BlackBox™ is another step in ABIT's quest to provide personalized global service for every end-user, in every country.<p>

Built with Bulletproof Technology™<br>
Like all ABIT motherboards, the AV8 is built with Bulletproof Technology™ - a new standard in terms of Quality, Reliability, Stability, and Engineering. Bulletproof Technology begins with selecting the highest quality components available. ABIT uses only Japanese-made capacitors on ABIT branded motherboards – capacitors that cost several times more than regular capacitors. While others try to cut components, ABIT puts quality first. Bulletproof Technology™ also means stability, and the AV8 3 Phase PWM delivers clean and stable power to the CPU during gaming and overclocking. Stability is further ensured as the AV8 has passed the Torture Test, a series of looping demos and benchmarks designed to tax the board far beyond normal use. If the motherboard has been Torture Tested and Passed, it is built to last. Reliability is another component of Bulletproof Technology. To help users identify devices and components that are problem-free with ABIT motherboards, ABIT has developed its ABIT Approved Program™. After hardware has passed compatibility testing, it is given the ABIT Approved Seal. The ABIT Approved Seal lets ABIT users understand which devices and components they should be choosing to complete their systems. Add to all of this exclusive ABIT Engineered features such as µGuru, and the AV8 is truly in a class by itself.</i></blockquote><p>
