Abit IX38 QuadGT Review by Razer
Datum objave: 12.05.2008



UVOD

Abit je još od davnih dana bio poznat u krugovima entuzijasta, te unatoč nekim krivim potezima prije godinu dvije, i danas je natrag na nogama.
Sa zadnje dvije serije ploča se polako ali sigurno vraća na stare staze. Radi se o pločama temeljenim na P35 čipsetu (IP35 serija), te X38 čipsetu (IX38 serija).
Osim ove koju ću danas spominjati, Abit IX38 QuadGT, na tržištu se nalazi i jača verzija ploče sa DDR3 memorijom, sa sufiksom MAX.
Glavna joj je konkurencija Asusova P5E/Maximus Formula te Gigabyteova X38-DS5/DQ6.

PAKIRANJE I BUNDLE



Lijepo dizajnirana kutija, no relativno siromašan bundle. Siromašan po tome jer nema niti jedan PCI bracket s dodatnim USB/Firewire konektorima.
Također, dolazi sa samo 4 SATA kabla, iako ploča dolazi sa 6+2 SATA utora. Netko bi mogao i zamjeriti to što ploča dolazi bez ikakvo popratnog softvera (u vidu AV programa i sl.).

Dakle, da nabrojim kompletnu opremu što dolazi s pločom:

• Priručnik
• IDE kabel
• FDD kabel
• 4 SATA kabla
• Limić za I/O panel
• Vodič za brzu instalaciju
• CD s driverima i uGuruom
