Abit going belly-up

However, I'll always remember them for making the dual celeron socket BP6, now that was a damn fine enthusiasts motherboard :).

dayum fine board, great innovation, everyguy in here would have waanted one back in the day:D
 
I've had a couple Abit MB's over the years. Quality was always good & the RMA process was awesome. So was Epox's :( I'm still using an A8N32X as we speak. I hope they pull through "IF" their going to keep QC up to par. If not i'll take Gigabyte. :)
 
Of all the computers I find thrown out by random people, all of the abit based systems persist to work. I think I have 5 different versions of the vh6 or vp6 motherboards for p3 and amd 462.
 
I never had a problem with Biostar boards myself. I recently used one for a budget build with integrated nforce 630i and was very impressed overall.

I still have a Abit NF4 939 board that is going strong. I can't recall the model number, but it was the one with the heatpipe instead of the chipset fan.

And yes, the uGuru system is incredible.
 
i am getting a abit ip35e board soon (should be coming tmw). i hope it works good with the overclock i wanna do! :D
 
i know a bios engineer left abit for dfi. i still have my abit ic7g max running. socket 478, ive always liked abit. sad news if its indeed true.
 
I had Epox, then 3 Abit mobos. Everything I buy goes belly up. All the good brands are going under. No way I'm going back to Asus. My one mobo that gave me problems.
 
Didn't Abit nearly go bankrupt and change hands once already? Chances are, someone will buy their name and continue the brand, just like last time.
 
If its true that sucks. Im using one now and love it. How can you even compare it to IWill and Epox?
 
I have had two abit quad GT's die on me, and Abit sent me the board back saying nothing was wrong with it, despite the fact that the CPU, ram and video card don't work on that board but work with this current board.

And to this day they are still ignoring my full refund request.

Die abit die..
 
I had a IN9 32X MAX for a while. The board died and took the CPU with it. It was sweet when it worked, I have nothing bad to say about it other than the death of that mobo.

Now I have a Abit IX38 QuadGT. Its also I nice board not as good looking at the IN9 32X but it has a better chipset.
 
it was oskar wu leaving abit for dfi 2 or 3 years ago that caused abit to crap out the first time (when taken over by universal). my first board was a bh-6. probably the first overclocking board. a lot of jumpers tho. then the bx6-133 which was the first board to have support for 133mhz fsb. one of my favorite boards of all time was the be6-2 v2. be6 was first board with onboard raid iirc.abit also made the first board with heatpipe cooling (otes). first board to support overclocking with software (oc guru). first board to scrap legacy connectors (max series - mistake) i dont remember abit doing too well during the amd/via chipset days (kt133/a, kt266a, kt333, etc). but had great nf2 boards. then that was pretty much it except for 1 or 2 p4 boards (i wasnt much of an intel guy then) and the ip35pro. you would have thought the ip35 series could have kept them out of the crapper.
