There are some more serious drawbacks: abit IP35 Pro is not as flexible with the memory, as some of its competitors. Even some of the budget mainboards offer more memory dividers than abit IP35 Pro. Moreover, ASUS, DFI and Gigabyte mainboards also can change Performance Level parameter directly, and abit IP35 Pro cannot, though this parameter does have big influence on the general system performance. Of course, mainboards for office PCs will not require any of these features, but a high-performance overclocker mainboard got to have them.
