What's so bad about the Abit SR7-8X?

[Calthos]

I, like many people, preordered the Asus P4S8x and just found out the release date has been pushed back to 9/13. Now I have all this computer equipment laying around waiting for the Asus. I like to get your opinion on whether I should just be patient for the Asus or go with the Abit? I read the review on the Abit but I'm still unsure. I would like to overclock. I don't need Raid, Firewire or Serial ATA but definately want AGP 8x. I ordered a Radeon 9700 as well as Corsair XMS 3200 (DDR 400) memory.

I appreciate your opinion.

i read the review of the Abit SR78X on www.anandtech.com and it was good! Personally i would buy either. I think both boards are good. I myself currently have the Abit BG7. I bought it for its overclockabilty features. I like Asus too. Always had asus until this Abit board. REad the review and decide for yourself.
