Abit AX8?

[Thurgo0dy]

Will the Abit AX8 with the VIA K8T890 chipset be a good motherboard? I've heard people saying they didn't want one because of the VIA chipset, and I'm looking to build a new gaming rig so I need some help on what mobo to choose.

This mobo should be available on 01/10/2005 at excaliberpc.com. I expect it to be very good, but we'll only know the answer in a couple of months after user feedback in forums.

i've waited too long for this board, gave up, and now i may be getting my nforce4 asus board sooner than expected. I don't know why it takes so long for this board to be in retail stores considering it has been out in the market for quite a bit of time. But i've never had any bad experiences w/ abit boards (i currentlly own an abit ic8-g max III advance board for my p4 3.0ghz C) and if your're not interested in SLI, this should be a great board. although i haven't seen too many reviews on the board, the via chipset itself should be really stable w/out too many bugs/issues from past experiences as well.
