Just trying to mend a PC with an Abit board in, have Abit gone bust or is this really their website? http://abit.ws/page/en/index.php" rel="nofollow - http://abit.ws/page/en/index.php I've never rated their kit (Just ordered replacement MSI board) but that website blows goats and a quick Google leads me to think it could actually be their!!!!  PLEASE someone tell me I am wrong and send me a better option....  |

Abit was always bit shonky, compared to Asus. Then Gigabyte stepped up their game. The End. ------------- Global Depopulation - Alive and Killing. |

| I've still got a BP6 based computer in the shed. I'll have to fire it up again some time. It seemed fast in its day with overclocked dual Celerons. |

They were closed in ~2009 IIRC, I'm still using an IP35 with no real problems, so not all of their products were total crap. |

yeah... all the older late 90's boards were fantastic!... they just lost sight and went for the $$$$ instead and tried to maximize their profits with cheaper parts, sorry, EVEN cheaper parts
