Is Abit over the hill ?

This should get the sleepers on this newsgroup awake............ !

Life in Abit-land is in the doldrums. Waiting for Intel to fix
Prescott and give us yet another incompatible pin-out
in the process. PCI-Express likely to be forced down throats
on the ill-conceived BTX format ( a worse cooling solution
for add-on graphics cards than ATX... exhaust heat from
the BTX processor area blowing over a 6800 graphics
card is certainly not what I had in mind. BTX is integrated-
graphics, Intel-centric... ). Abit's biggest recent blunder -
their ruptured relationship with Nvidia - no new Abit nForce
MBs --- the new MSI nForce3-250 MB just got a sparkling
review on Anandtech. No new Abit nVidia-6800 video cards.

At least, while Abit chews their fingernails waiting for
nothing good to happen, they might consider expanding
and correcting the English-language documentation on
their latest existing motherboards.

Now I shall replace my head-gear and run to my
bomb-shelter.

Sorry, as always, it's natural selection hard at work. How many
more times do people have to get burned before they realize it's
an Intel-centric world?

Don't count on it. One out of every three people on planet
Earth are either Chinese or Indian. Do the math.

If our current Disaster-in-Chief gets re-elected this year, most
of us will be joining you.

That is why English has become the universal business language and why most
modern countries require students to study English.

"pry the AMD out of my cold dead hands" - That's quite drastic.

I have pried CPU chips (which I accidentally left on the floor) out of my
cold, soft heels, but your situation sounds infinitely worse...

I've wondered the same thing John. From a customer point of view, no
more nVidia doesn't sound good at all. Perhaps abit's business model
is changing...

There are 2 parties to every argument with apportioned blame.
Were you at the negotiations, or just quoting the word from
one of the parties ?

Nvidia demanded to rise their royalties, get'em paid in advance, and get a
forfait even if the production didn't get the level negotiated in the
past...

A not so smart move in an ever changing market where they're the uncontested
leaders no more...

Does this somehow answer your question?
