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.
Dude i`ve been running this board for a couple of weeks no problems at all, USB/PS2 issue easily worked around, can`t comment on SATA, don`t run it.
Currently running 7900GTO`s SLI problem free, not hugely oc`ed yet @3038mhz, still finding my way on C2D, but so far rock steady. Benching on this board, in just one week i`ve gone from 733 on HWBOT rankings to 134. Money well spent as far as i`m concerned.
