Now why in the hell would abit have removed the four mounting holes around the CPU socket. That is just plain stupid on an overclocking marketed board.

But I do like the fact that abit allows overclocking the AGP frequency.

Due to the four mounting holes, I still think that the ASUS is the best board.

apparently only if you get the second revision though..... a few thousand boards went out without the holes which led to all the confusion I think..... will believe it when I see a picture I think :D

Abit and Gigabyte's (and almost every mobo manufacturer's) 1st verson of a new mobo usually has issues/minor annoyances... It's just the way it is

/pats Abit KX7333R v1.1 ..

At first I had a v1.0, it didn't work with certain types of ram and had minor issues.. The v1.1 kicks the booty outta the v1.0

Basiically a good rules of thumb is to never buy a v1.0 mobo, that's the bottom line,

If I'm buying a mobo in person now I always ask to inspect the mobo.. Look at the revison and go home and do a search.. find out if there are any issues. When buying online ask them what version they are stocking / are shipping..
