Hi there. Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in. I had a brand new Abit board
with an 850mhz Duron. I turned it back in to TC Computers after being unable
to get it to recognize my Adaptec 2930 card and Plextor SCSI CDRW. Worse than
that, when I stuck a generic IDE CD-ROM in there just to install Mandrake 8.0,
I would get all the way through the installation, then when prompted to
reboot, would get a black screen, with no recovery possible.
I sent it back, haven't had those kinds of problems with any other MB. The
chipset was VIA... ;-(
