It turns out the non-gender specific parentboard was faulty. I RMA'd the board for a new one, set it up exactly as the last one and it booted without problem. And its FAST - coming from an XP-1600+ its a rocket-ship.

Well I brought said card - and it ROCKS. I judge its 2D to be as good as my venerable Matrox G450.

Hi All, I have two Samsung 80GB HDDs attached to SATA1 and SATA2 of an Abit IC7-G motherboard. These are set up as a RAID0 array... When installing W2K to the array, everything goes fine up to the point where the OS wants to do its first reboot and where it goes from running off the CD to...

Hi All, I am trying to get RAID0 running on my IC7-G and have run into problems. I hope someone who has done this successfully can help...here is what I have done so far 1. Plugged HDDs into the connectors marked SATA1 and SATA2 with the jumper set to master on the physical drived 2. In the...

Yeah - about that review... I don't put a lot of faith in OverclockersNZ as all do is rah rah *every* product they review. Could be a case of free toys for positive reviews IMHO. And I would like more than one review upon which to base my purchasing decision. And I am not convinced its BUILT...

I have just picked up my IC7-G motherboard and I am quite impressed - the packaging is really quite fantastic compared to the last Abit board I brought (a KG7-RAID). It sounds stupid but I appreciate it when manufacturers take the time to think about product presentation. Manuals are good...

As a search of the archive reveals nothing, can anyone verify if the Alpha PAL8942 will fit on the IC7-G okay? I hope to go and pick up both shortly...

Doh. Not an auspicious start. Having just searched the posts it seems that people are of one opinion - if its 2D quality you want, get a Matrox P650 or similar and then *never* attempt to play any 3D-based game otherwise you will be sorry. Okay, fair enough, but how about an impartial...

My apologies if this is slightly off-topic, but how far away is the article comparing the 2D image quality of the current generation of 3D cards? As someone who spends a great deal of time typing text in a variety of editors, I really appreciate a card that delivers razor-sharp 2D. Of the...
