anyone? Cold? Warm? Hot?

BTW, if you aren't familiar with MCM, they are a VERY reputable electronics supplier that I have purchased from for over 15 yrs.

Personally I'd say luke warm.. I mean if that review is accurate it doesn't support C2D which would be an issue and a huge performance loss...

cold, My friends and I got one of these for helping admin at the WSVG in louisville.

I gave mine away for some fatal1ty products (never get a fatal1ty mouse). The person NEEDED the board since his burned out.

My friend tried selling it. The highest offer he got was $50, and he rejected the offer thinking he could get more. He now regrets rejecting that offer.

My other friend was the only one that could use it (since he won a extreme edition processor before the C2D came out). Its a good board and nice bios options and everything.

But since it doesn't support C2D, no one wants it.

Huh. I knew it didn't support Quads, but I didn't realize no C2D either.
I checked the Abit site, and they never released any BIOS updates for the newer cores.

I saw SK775 and Crossfire and thought it must be a decent board.

But, in this case, "cold" seems Abit generous!! (LMAO @ the pun)
I'd say more like "frigid".

The AW9 is the one with Core 2 support. That wouldn't be a bad deal for $89.
