Though I've already accepted that they were screwed when they pulled from the mobo market I’ll miss them. They sure were a darn site better than the masses bug ridden BS I’m currently hav’in to deal with. :(
Abit never had their act together unfortunately. They typically sold half-baked products and provided zero support in the U.S. Would have been nice if they could have gotten it together but it just never happened.
...on in few of my boxen. I'm with Efros, Celly 300-- 600MHZ-ish on a BP6 with Alpha Coolers, then Peltiers with novel water blocks and lots of Ear Plug Wax stuffed around the socket'de'370s.
After easily OC'n 486s to 160mhz, this was my first(and LAST) hard-core tinker 'til sun-up build. It still runs after MUCH abuse.
All good things must end.
Abit wasn't perfect, yet provided more smiles than tears.
Abits website was a very bad joke with many damaged (and damaging) links. What I mean is that you risked downloading a considerably older driver from them unless you checked and doublechecked. I just installed an Asus motherboard today and they will follow Abit into the grave soon, judging from their website and download facilities.
Abit will burn in hell for the way they treated their customers and I wont be saying any novenas for them -:)
Ohh the good old days of the NF7-S and the AN7 mobos - The time when Athlons where the creme - Hey my Athlon XP-M (w/ unlock multis ;) 2600+ (running on AN7) Still going strong - RIP ABIT - I own an IN9 Max mobo w/ a Q6600 G0 CPU and must say that it works super (w/ a Special BIOS or course).
Abit introduced me to SMP setups with their legendary BP6, allowed me to run two Celeron 300s at 600 MHz in SMP mode, ah Windows 2000 run like a train!

I never got a bad Abit board. They were all rock solid. More than I can say for the current batch of front runners!

Au revoir, my friend.
