Without a doubt the Abit AT7 is the best AMD motherboard I have ever used. Abit has shown a lot of guts to create this motherboard. The ditching of all the legacy items couldn't have been made without a lot of thought. Abit was normally never the first to market with latest in terms of chipset and features. They normally wait and work on tweaking the product for best performance possible before releasing it. The AT7 is bold leap to be the first legacy-free board. Whether other motherboard makers will follow remains to be seen.
