OCAU have reviewed the IT7 Max 2 Version 2 motherboard from ABIT.
It's an updated version of the IT7 Max we examined only a few weeks
ago. Does the change from i845E to i845PE bring anything significant
with it? Find out in this 4-page analysis.

We asked ABIT R&D about the reason for these changes and got the
following answer: “Due to the Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, the
CPU has a higher power consumption. We modified the mosfets and
transistors to support this new technology on the IT7-MAX2 V2.0."
This is good, but we hope that it doesn’t mean that older 845E based
ABIT boards like the BD7-II and the IT7 MAX and IT MAX 2 Version 1
will have problems with Hyper-Threading capable CPUs.
