Abit Fans, our nForce 4 is here!

Well, not yet, but soon. . .very soon. In the second page of this article:

http://www.anandtech.com/trade...oc.aspx?i=2319&p=2

Abit will soon be offering motherboards based on both VIA K8T890 (the current AX8) and nForce 4 Ultra / SLI chips. The nForce board will be dubbed (just to confuse you with the similarly named Asus A8N board I'm sure) the AN8. And I was just about to give in and go with the VIA board.
 
"Abit fans, our nForce 4 IS here"

"Not yet, but soon"


You're as bad as the companies themselves. It IS NOT very well here if it IS NOT here IS it?
 
What's even worse is that he is assuming VERY SOON, based on this loose wording:

"...Abit will soon be offering motherboards based..."

Wow! Way to make a useless thread...
 
Ok, I guess I should have worded it more like "is coming." My main intent was just to alert people that didn't see the article that Abit had an nForce 4 based board in the works. I was getting ready to buy their VIA board until I saw this.
 
hmm, bummer for VIA. They dragged their feet and lost a customer here. We already know there are plenty of other nForce 4 boards out there. Wonder if Abit will start shipping the AN8 before they get enough VIA chips to ship AX8's?
 
Finally, some other board makers are getting into the nf4 dance. And the article even says "The floodgates will be opening". Sound like goot news.
 
Just remember that a warranty is a contact with the company. It sounds like Abit is in financial difficulties, and IF it goes into bankruptcy and gets liquidated, the technical support on their boards may go to zero, and the warranties may become worthless. Still, it will be nice to see how their board does vs. the other NF4 boards.
 
I just hope the DFI nForce 4 Ultra board won't be too expensive considering it is also supposed to be able to do SLI at 90% of the SLI board performance. I don't care for SLI (can't afford it) but I'd sure like a DFI board...
