Cmon, I need more posts if Kris is going to stock the range......Please!
OK, Ive owned an Intel PII-450 system on a Abit BH6, AMD Athlon XP1900 on a Abit KR7A-RAID and an Intel P4 2.4C system on an Abit IC7-RAID.
With the exception of the last system I built (Intel MATX motherboard for HTPC) and my server (Dual AMD K8 on a Tyan) Id say Ive been pretty loyal and happy with Abit.
Im looking to build a new system soon on an Intel P45 board. So far Ive been leaning towards Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS5 and DQ6.
Id like to consider an Abit but Im a bit worried as Ive read you guys are thinking about getting out the motherboard market.
What will that mean for me in terms of support commitment and general dedication to releasing an awesome product?
What details do you have for Abits upcoming P45 boards, and how competitively priced will they be against the likes of Gigabyte?
Man!!!, you need a change, dont you know, variety is the spice of life
,,,the Gigabyte board is very good! JOKE, dont you dare.
I have just posted on the IP45 Pro....
http://www.tekforum.co.uk/posts/list/12757.pageExpect it to be available 1st week of July.
They were just rumours, we were prominent at Computext with a range of 38 boards, 12 of which are new, we were quick to reply to the rumours, Hexus, OC workbench, Clunk and more,,, in fact we contacted Digitimes before they went to press with it informing them it wasnt true but they decided to continue with it anyway.
I left Gigabyte around 2 months ago after 2.5 years there to join Abit, so there is no choice just a decision on if you will buy the IP45 or the IP45 Pro
I will get pricing over in the next few days
