Summary:
The BD7-II is a lean and mean piece of hardware with a lot of muscle and free of unnecessary gimmicks. Maybe this is one reason for the good stability and performance we found with this board. The BD7-II is providing very high bandwidth and performance already at stock frequency when running CPU and RAM frequencies asynchronously at a 3:4 ratio. The BD7-II is also a superb overclocker. It allowed us to run our P4 2.26 air-cooled with the Intel stock HSF at 3021 MHz. The ability to fix the PCI/AGP frequency in the BD7-II BIOS at a given speed is a god-sent gift. ABIT could have done even better by donating a bit more CPU voltage. Given the reasonable pricing, the excellent performance, and the huge overclocking potential, we highly recommend the BD7-II as platform for the new 533 MHz system bus Pentium 4.
