abit Introduces the IP35 Off Limits Series of Motherboards

[Chosen.]

Abit wont fix problems/bugs etc unless you let them know about the issues in the first place, Abit's technical department are quite good & they usually give you a positive response within 2-3 days.

You always see people whining about these things but how many of you actually e-mail them?

October 31st, 2006. This is when I bought my AW9D.


A few weeks later I got my QX6700. ABIT advertised that the AW9D series were "Quad core ready" (bull****)

April 18th, 2007. This is when ABIT decided to fully support the QX6700 on this board. That's 6 months later. In the IT world, 6 months can be a generation of a processor type, or a new technology. For ABIT, it was the time needed for the skilled engineers to write a working BIOS.

Notice the plethora of BIOS releases, for the company's flagship board for half a year: all 3 of them...



Inbetween, there was a parade of mediocre fsb overclocking, not working multiplier overclocking, and a Hell on Earth when trying to install Vista on a Quad Core + AW9D combo.

And you are saying that we should email ABIT to get their bugs fixed? I know I did, multiple times, as well as many others.

But hey, it's almost June 2007 now, P35 and DDR3 are on the shelves, X38 and Penryn are just around the corner and ABIT now fully supports the QX6700 on AW9D.

Good job ABIT!
