holy crap. Yeah, they really dropped the ball on the A64s when they plugged via instead of nVidia for their enthusiast stuff.

But 96% percent drop in sales?! OMGWTFBBQ?

I had one that didn't work from the beginning. Returned for an ASUS. Never bought ABIT again, been buying ASUS for 4 years now.

I know they've had some good boards, but personal experience wagers heavy in my purchasing.
 
I've had lousy luck with Abit boards. Had a couple crap out on me and others where various devices have stopped working (onboard sound, floppy, etc).

I remember hearing a while back that RMA of their boards took upto a couple months in some cases.

Needless to say I try to stay away from them and have used mainly Asus in my main rigs.

Abit has had a bunch of fantastic boards in the past, remember that they've been around longer than just the past two or three years that a lot of people have gotten into building during. I'm running an IC7-G still, that I've had for oh...almost 3 years? It runs 24/7, and the only problem I've ever had was that the northbridge fan eventually started to wear out, which I replaced with a Thermaltake blower.

As far as onboard sound/video going out, who uses those? I can see people using the audio, but most of my friends around the local area opted for a more expensive but much more fulfilling Audigy 2 or MWave board.
 
Wow. Big blast from the past. I remember when Abit boards were the overclocker's shiznit. They were the very first with jumperless OC'ing, IIRC, and had many other firsts. Celly with a BE-6 ftw!

This sad news brings a tear to my eye. 🙁
