Review: Abit iL-90MV motherboard

Abit’s iL-90MV, based around an Intel Socket 479 (Core 2 Duo, Core Duo and Core Solo CPUs), would make an ideal base for a home theatre PC since it has an HDMI port (HDMI to DVI cable included).

An Asus OTES Stream compact CPU cooler, along with passively cooled chipset bridges and Mosfet, make this a very quiet board.

With no graphics slot, there is plenty of space around the components and slots, which comprise two Dimm slots supporting up to 2GB DDR2 memory, two PCI slots and a single PCI Express x1 slot. Eight-channel audio with S/PDIF ports is included, along with Gigabit Ethernet.
