Ted - RE: "I am not familiar with the relationship between Abit and AMD....is there some kind of animosity. The guy's response in the article sounds very political." One of the websites said that Abit had a choice to make - Super 7 motherboards or get permission by Intel to make a jumperless, Softmenu motherboard. Abit chose the second route. Because of that decision Abit never sold a Super 7 motherboard and therefore didn't support Super 7. Since Abit didn't support AMD's Super 7, AMD decided Abit wasn't worthy to be one of the select initial Athlon motherboard makers. Super 7 is the name AMD coined for the Socket 7 platform (K6-X) on a 100MHz bus. Abit's Softmenu motherboard allows (I think all) motherboard settings to be modified within the motherboard's BIOS while typical motherboards have to be configured with actual modifications on the motherboard.
