At first glance, the glaring red Abit motherboard with the 945P chipset doesn't merely look like it's well equipped, it actually is. In our photos, you can clearly see the four phase voltage regulators that are powerful enough to use a Pentium Extreme Edition with a thermal power loss of 130 W. Likewise, it should run equally well with all the lower class Pentium processors.

AL8-V Motherboard
Strengths: It supports DDR2 memory, has 1066MHz FSB capabilities and also supports the Pentium D processor.
Weakness: Does not have RAID capabilities. Does not have IEEE 1394 ports. Drivers for LAN interface doesn't seem to work.
This board is way overpriced for what it delivers. It should be in the $50.00 range. In my opinion ABIT produces some of the best motherboards available, but this one falls short of expectations. I will be returning it for a different one.
