When I look back over my time spent with the Abit Fatal1ty AN9 32X motherboard, I try to find something horribly wrong with it, but can't. Certainly, that erroneous error encountered during the HDTach SATA testing was more than a little frustrating, but that issue will probably dissolve into the ether come the next chipset driver package. A CMOS clear button would have been nice, but isn't really needed. And from an enthusiasts stand point, a true geek would probably yank off those stock chipset and VCM coolers, dispose of the thermal rubber sheets accordingly, and smeer on some Arctic Silver. I know I would.
But if I were (and I am) in the market for a nice AM2 board with plenty of features and nice overclocking capabilities, the Abit Fatal1ty would be at the top of my list. Though a lot of the features may be standard, and the Nvidia 590 chipset widely used, this board brings it all together near flawlessly. There were those few tests that did have the Fatal1ty lagging behind ever so slightly (and the disappointment of the SATA drive tests), but it did perform up to and beyond my expectations.
The AN9 32X Fatal1ty from Abit may not have won any awards today, but it certainly could have. Retailing for around $170 bucks USD, the Abit Fatal1ty falls into that near perfect price/performance range. And that µGuru LCD Display Panel might set you back $30 dollars USD. A board that is certain to please most everyone.
