I keep returning to this Abit board, I hear some glowing reports and also some problems but what's stopping me making a purchase is being unclear whether the problems 'can' and 'will' be fixed with a BIOS update or not.
PS/2 / USB issue and SATA RAID being the main issues to me and I'm looking for quality over absolute overclockability.

I currently have an over-clocked ASUS board that will never re-boot, have to turn off, wait 15 seconds then turn on again - not prepared to pay £220 for another board with problems that can't be fixed in time. Thanks.
Well, speaking only from what I have been reading since I dont have mine yet, if you are hell bent on building a C2D machine and must have SLI, then look no further than this. At this moment, this is, from what I am reading, the most trouble free board. WIll the problems get fixed with BIOS later on? Who knows, but I will have mine ordered in a few days!
