"This feature makes overclocking as simple
as changing a BIOS menu option and rebooting. No machine dissaembly
required..."


True. However, most of the overclockers I know are 'tinkerers' and love to play around with their hardware. Some will even get upset if they don't have any jumpers to change.

Although it makes it easier, it's too easy for some other people to dink around with the voltage and fry the boards...and believe me, they will...I've had atleast 3 come in in the past month for that reason.

Overall though, the Abit motherboards are pretty good.

P.S. To Clarence: Sorry for not finding out more about your backup situation. By the looks of things, you've picked up some pretty good suggestions already.

Thread, a while ago I saw a link here to a shopping comparison site for computer related components. I went there and liked it, but can't find the bookmark and can't remember the url. I use and like shopper.com alot, but this was a bit different. Any ideas? What sites do you use and are your favorites?

Thanks
Dan
