re : while typical motherboards have to be configured with actual modifications on the motherboard. Abits advantage is long gone...almost all other motherboard makers, ranging from cheapo QDI to quality Asus and Aopen , have "jumperless" options (easymenu, easyspeed..whatever the respective names are they made up for it) Actually, abit made a step forward recently, by implementing dipswitches on their latest lineup of high-end motherboards, a way of hard-configuring your cpu/busclocks, in case you screwed up trough softmenu and couldnt get your pc to boot . A step forward for the consumer that is. So no harm done, I am pretty sure abit will be bagging on their knees early next year when they notice all other competing motherboard producers get nice profits from the slot-a and socket-a market, while they cant jump on that bandwagon. To bad :) Michael
