We received both the Canterwood and the Springdale boards from Abit right after each other and decided to look at the Springdale first as that happens to be the latest chipset that supports almost everything that Canterwood does except for PAT and costs lower. Last week, we looked at Epox’s Springdale solution- lets find out where Abit stands with their IS7-G board.
