AS8 was my real mobo

[LexDiamonds]

Had several BH6s back in the day. Getting random 66mhz fsb cpus working on a 100mhz bus was some of the most fun I've had overclocking. Damn, I'm getting old.

/pours out some Patron silver for Abit...

Tiro, thanks for the heads up. I have a build with a IG-80 I still need to finish. I'm gonna archive the stuff for it because I really don't know when I'm going to finish it.

Use wget for Windows:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm

For Linux use package manager for your distro to install wget.

command line:

wget --wait=<time between requests in seconds> --limit-rate=<max bytes per sec add K for Kb/s> -r -p -U Mozilla <url>

ie:
wget --wait=20 --limit-rate=20K -r -p -U Mozilla http://www.abit.com.tw/

Files will drop in a subdirectory named as the got url within the directory the command is run from.

more info here:

EDIT:
I still have a KT7 RAID with a 1Ghz Tbird running as a back up server in my garage. Built about a month after Tbird was released. Was my main PC until I upgraded to an Athlon XP3200 and an Abit AN7. It went into the garage after that upgrade and has been running 24x7x365 ever since.

So the guy left abit,i think was fugger?, (or some of XS admins), now abit gows downhill, badly.

My first real overclocking experience was on an Abit NF7-S 2.0. Had a heatsink on every chip of that board. Back then, all the little details made all the difference. These days, the individual MHz doesn't matter as much.

[Holy_COW]

hmm I think i Still have my BP6 with 2x Celeron 366 (dual socket, oced to 550) around... I loved that mobo, uber performance and uber peen when it was new...

i think they just weren't making enough money, DFI is now basically gone too. Sadly those two had the better products for us.

Had a Abit NF7-S 2.0 running a mobile 2600+ at 2.6ghz on water. It was awesome.

yep same, such great boards. more stable then the DFI version I had at the same time.

Abit was an awesome board maker. Its sad they couldn't stay afloat.

I know I built at least 3 BH6's for friends and family with Celeron 300A's that would OC to 450. Good times...
