So far Abit's VIA based boards have been less than impressive.

A friend of mine has a VA6, it's a POS. I hadn't heard of this one but I'd stay away from it.

 

[rigor]

and CERTAINLY avoid using the on board audio. it sucks ass.

I think it's a dumb idea to buy anything with a Via chipset regardless of manufacture unless you really like a slow, incompatibility prone system. Ok they're cheap but the motherboard is one place not to skimp when building a system IMO - M.
