What do people think about Abit? I have one and I think it's terrific.
What I particularly like about Abit boards are the layouts. One thing that drives me
nutsp about ASUS boards is the place they choose for the power and IDE connectors. It's difficult to build a machine without cables poking up right behind your drives. Also, my dad swears by ABIT, but I don't think he's ever been able to get the stupid QFan feature to work properly, because the BIOS and PC Probe keep complaining the RPMs are too low. BIOS updates never seem to work properly. My Abit IS7 (Pentium4) works beautifly, and is super-quiet.
countzero: I have been very happy with my asus boards so far too, but recently I heard that ASUS has changed name to AsRock (?) and quality has fallen ? can anybody confirm ?
Techspot articleASUS hasn't changed its name. I was under the impression that the two related companies just share designs.
