The ABIT AB9 Pro motherboard was one of the first boards on the scene based on the Intel P965 chipset with support for Intel's powerful and energy-efficient Intel Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme processors. It features up to 8 GB dual-channel DDR2 800/667/533 memory with Fast Memory Access technology for maximum platform performance.
Home entertainment applications such as movies, private videos, music, and much more lead to growing demands for storage and high data throughput. The ABIT AB9 Pro is ready for the job with dual PCIe Gigabit LAN, two Firewire ports and a whopping 10 USB 2.0 ports as well as 9 SATA ports and one external SATA connector for unparalleled storage flexibility. This impressive upgradeability and expandability leaves more than enough room for even the most demanding storage needs now and in the future.

Intel P965+ICH8R ChipsetThe Intel P965 Express Chipset incorporates Intel Fast Memory Access technology to significantly increase overall system performance by optimizing available bandwidth and reduction of memory access latency. Up to dual-channel DDR2 800 memory is supported by the P965 chipset to provide up to 12.8 GB/s peak memory bandwidth for greater platform performance and memory flexibility. The ICH8R also features SATA 3Gb/s with Intel Matrix Storage Technology support, High-Speed USB 2.0 and HD Audio support.
Intel Core 2 Processor SupportThis motherboard supports the next-generation LGA 775 Intel Core 2 processors, including the Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme. With new Intel Core microarchitecture technology, the Intel Core 2 processors are considered some of the most powerful and energy efficient CPUs in the world.
Silent OTES CoolingThe Silent OTES cooling solution keeps the chipset and MOSFETs cool with the latest heatpipe technology. Heatpipes do without an active fan, cutting down on noise pollution from your case and enhancing the stability of components on your motherboard.
ABIT µGuru TechnologyExclusive ABIT-Engineered motherboard technology is designed for unprecedented power, convenience and control over your PC. µGuru enables end-users to reach a higher state of hardware awareness and enlightenment, providing users the perfect environment with which to maximize system performance and stability.
10 SATA 3Gb/s Connectors with RAIDThe ABIT AB9 PRO features 9 internal SATA 3Gb/s connectors and an external SATA 3Gb/s port to satisfy even the most storage-hungry demands. The JMicron JMB363 and Intel ICH8R feature 8 internal SATA ports with RAID support and the PCIe Silicon Image Sil3132 controller supports an external SATA and an additional internal SATA 3Gb/s interface allowing RAID 0 and RAID 1.
S/PDIF In/Out InterfaceS/PDIF allows connections to today's hottest digital audio devices without signal loss. Connect S/PDIF out to an AC-3 decoder for full-on theater quality digital sound.
