unfortunately, you guys may be right :(
but the board with holes looks to have more standard, Abit-like layout, which could mean the opposite.
aslo note:
=>board without holes has the 4-pin p4-style power connector on it, while the "holes" version doesn't. none of the others have that connector (epox, asus, msi, etc.), which could mean that the board without holes is, indeed, the prototype.
=>board without holes has the ATX power connector in the middle, and the "holes" version has it in the corner. like all the other newer Abit boards, BTW.
=>the "holes" version has the CNR or whatever the name of that port is, which looks like it is the production board. think about it, why would they add CNR port on a prototype?
i am just speculating, i have no idea what that all really means....
