Abit's Computex line-up revealed 30.5.08
Fudzilla: "Some info about what motherboards Abit will be showing at Computex has made its way online and although it covers several older models as well, we'll stick to telling you about two P45 and one P43 model here.
The model names are IP45-MAX, IP45 and IP43 Pro, and it gives away some information about what features the different models will have. Let's start from the bottom with the IP45, as this is a very basic P45 motherboard with a single x16 PCIe 2.0 slot, two PCIe x1 slots and three PCI slots. Around the back is a single PS/2 port, six USB 2.0 ports, a Gigabit Ethernet connector, 7.1-channel audio jacks with a coaxial S/PIDF out and a CMOS reset button.
This board is limited to DDR2 800 and 1,066MHz memory, according to the specs, and it also has six SATA ports and headers for a further six USB 2.0 ports. Depending on the market, Abit has three additional models of this board, one with 10/100Mbit Ethernet, one with 5.1-channel sound and one with both. This is what is commonly known as cost down.
Next up, we have the IP43 Pro, which appears to be a better motherboard than the IP45. It has the same slot layout and the same rear I/O layout, with the addition of an optical S/PDIF out. This board features Abit's micro Guru BIOS and silent OTES chipset cooling and supports DDR2 memory up to 1,200M"
