Aw9d-max

To add to my post i have a question... is there anywhere to find drivers and utilities for the board that work on vista? Tried installing them off the original CD but to no avail as it only supports to XP. Any way to get round it? nothing on the Abit site nor Intel doesn't help.

I just took delivery of mine yesterday from Ebuyer, along with a C3D X1800GTO, 2GB of Crucial memory (Best value in the Custom PC mag last month with wkd overclocking potential), E6600 CPU and a Hyper 580W modular PSU (note you need to buy the P8 connector seperately for it to work the board, also bought it from the same site, i think newer Hyper PSU's may have it included though so worth checking).
Ordered it on a 3 day but turned up next day, very happy with that
Working tonight on the system after loading Vista beta on at 1am this morning
Will comment further when playing around with it. Any comments on the GTO card? Any overclocking etc?

No you dont need the 8 pin! Just using the main atx power and the 4pin p4 connector, also abit recommend that you use the 4 min molex fitting on the otherside of board. I tend to agree in part with this. I also have the hiper type -r 580 watt PSU (the blue one) and I have found that if you are using the cpu at STOCK speeds then that molex connector does not need to be installed. However if you want to overclock and achieve high speeds and need the board to be STABLE at those speeds, install the molex power plug on that side of the board aswell. It provides the motherboard with the needed juice to achieve stability at high Overclocks.

Glad to help

Hello, i'm a new guy here.
Is Abit AW9D-Max supporting Ati 4850 crossfire? In MB box i found SLI connetcor (for NVidia i think).
