Driverheaven calls the Fatal1ty AN9 32X an "Almost perfect Product" and gives it the Heavenly Hardware Gold Award: From the Review: "Abit's Fatality AN9 32x is the fastest AM2 board we have seen to date, especially for gaming. It comes packed with extras and most importantly is completely stable. In addition to this it matched up perfectly with the high spec DDR2 we have tested today, allowing us to hit memory bandwidth scores of nearly 10k in Sisoft Sandra when overclocked. We wouldn't choose any other board to build an AM2 machine on at the time of writing" http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews/abit_mem/abit1.htm

OCWorkbench gives Fatal1ty AN9 32X the Product Excellence Awar: From the Review: "From the results, the benchmarks clearly show that abit [Fatal1ty] AN9 32X seems to be the fastest among all the boards in the comparison chart … The µGuru BIOS also takes the board to another level with ease of control … If you are going for design, the board's red/black design captures the attention of case modders. The blinking red LEDs will definitely make it a good gaming rig that stands out from the rest … Overall, this board is packed with good features e.g. heatpipe design, o/c options, SLI, GbE just to name a few." http://www.ocworkbench.com/2006/abit/FATAL1TY_AN9_32x/g1.htm

The Inquirer has plenty of good words for Fatal1ty AN9 32X: From the Review: "abit did a good job with its Fatal1ty AN9 32X SLI board. It has all you need, it runs faster than the competition and it can run up to five frames faster in games such as Far Cry. This is a lot for a motherboard as the scores are usually much tighter than we seen in this case. You can overclock the board and the most important it's a rock solid one. [...] We can highly recommend it. [...] It's good to know that abit is back in the high end motherboard league and that the company continues to make the good boards. µ" http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33841

Gaming Mode
For Ultimate Gaming Performance and Maximum Realism

·Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS delivers the fastest gaming performance ever!

A completely re-engineered game audio processing engine utilizing Creative X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity audio processor allows Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS to deliver the fastest gaming performance ever seen, providing more than a 15% performance boost over motherboard audio solutions while simultaneously delivering full audio effects!

·Sound Blaster X-Fi - The first sound card with Xtreme Fidelity RAM.

X-RAM allows developers to deliver even higher quality audio samples that can be loaded into dedicated audio RAM rather than system RAM, which would affect overall performance. In certain implementations it can further boost performance beyond the standard Sound Blaster X-Fi technology.

·X-Fi CMSS-3D delivers the most realistic surround sound experience with headphones.

Whether you use headphones or speakers you'll know exactly where your enemies are by utilizing advanced technology for amazing positional gaming audio. With headphones X-Fi CMSS-3D externalizes the audio by creating ten virtual speakers around you, above you and below you for an experience that's so real you'll forget you're wearing headphones. When using speakers X-Fi CMSS-3D uses virtual positions to place sounds anywhere around you, so your gaming audio is no longer restricted by the number or placement of your speakers. Now you can enjoy the most accurate gaming surround sound ever!

·EAX® ADVANCED HD™ 5.0 delivers the most realistic gaming audio ever!

Sound Blaster X-Fi delivers the most life-like audio environments ever, and for the first time it can do so while providing maximum performance! Features like 128 voice support, EAX MacroFX, EAX PurePath & Environment FlexiFX set a new standard for EAX and realism available in game audio.

·X-Fi 24-bit Crystalizer™ automatically upgrades existing games to Xtreme Fidelity.

Sound Blaster X-Fi converts all audio, in any bit depth, into 24-bit quality and then enhances it to make games sound more dynamic and realistic than you could ever imagine!

Entertainment Mode
For Xtreme Fidelity™ Music and Movies

·X-Fi 24-bit Crystalizer™ enhances MP3s and movies to sound better than they do on their original CD or DVD.

Utilizing the Creative X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity audio processor your music and movie audio is sent through a two-step quality enhancement process. First the processor converts the audio into 24-bit/96kHz quality, then it enhances the parts of the audio stream that have been restricted/damaged during the compression stages to 16-bit and then to MP3. The result of these enhancements is music that sounds cleaner, smoother and has more sparkle, and movies that sound more realistic than ever before!

·X-Fi CMSS®-3D allows you to upgrade your MP3 music and stereo movies into surround sound with headphones or multichannel speakers.

Enjoy your stereo MP3s and movies in surround sound with X-Fi CMSS-3D technology. The Creative X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity audio processor intelligently remixes the audio into surround sound to match the speaker system you have (including headphones). It also uses advanced techniques to extract specific audio elements, like voice to the center channel and ambience to the surrounding channels, so your music and movies sound more alive than ever before!

·SuperRip™ allows you to rip your CDs into Xtreme Fidelity quality

Sound Blaster X-Fi uses the X-Fi 24-bit Crystalizer and X-Fi CMSS-3D features to "SuperRip" CD's to Xtreme Fidelity quality. You can now enjoy permanently enhanced music instead of low-quality MP3 files!

Audio Creation Mode
For Pristine Audio Recording Quality

·Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty offers high quality, feature-rich recording.

Utilizing the Creative X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity audio processor, you'll get the most advanced features and effects of any audio processor for music and audio creation currently available, delivering pristine audio plalyback quality. The Creative X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity audio processor features a near transparent SRC engine that converts to and from any resolution at 136dB THD+N, and also provides digital-matched recording capabilities in resolutions from 44.1kHz to 96kHz. You'll also get support for ASIO recordings with latency as low as one millisecond, up to eight different hardware effects, 24-bit SoundFont® sampling, and 3D MIDI for amazing flexibility and recording results.

"The Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Fatality FPS is wholeheartedly recommended and a dazzling product… For games, well it doesn't get any better then this...""
