ABIT IS7-G with "Game Accelerator"

[Ian]

OCAU have taken a look at ABIT's IS7-G motherboard, using Intel's i865PE "Springdale" chipset. Springdale is intended to be a cheaper, lower-performance sibling to the i875P "Canterwood" chipset. However, ABIT have a trick up their sleeve called "Game Accelerator" which promises to bring this board closer to Canterwood performance. We look at the IS7-G in some detail, examining this special feature and pushing the board's overclocking limits:

The IS7 BIOS “Advanced Chipset Features” give the user a wide range of options to tune the memory. The mighty ABIT “Game Accelerator” is residing here as well. ABIT made headlines with the introduction of this technology, because it is supposed to make the 865PE chipset based IS7 as fast as 875P boards. The “Game Accelerator” has 3 pre-defined performance settings, “Turbo” being the lowest stage of acceleration, followed by “Street Racer” and “F1” as the most aggressive performance setting.
