Abit's Muddy Venture into AMD64 Land

Date of Review:  Jan 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you own an AMD64 and an Antec PSU, steer clear from the AV8. It's extras bundle is super-light, features nowhere-to-be-found tech support, and unexplainable hardware incompatibilities.
Review: This really isn t much a review of the performance of a motherboard as it is a description of its painstaking unwillingness to work in my new computer. After receiving an Asus A8V rev 1.02 this last summer, I wanted a board that would OC better than...

Great Performer, but a couple of got'chas

Date of Review:  Jan 22, 2005
Review: After a extremely long and tedious installation process, I finally got the AV8 working. In getting things to work, I encountered one DOA board, a second that would only work sometimes (but this could have been memory) and a board that would not work...
