I wanna get a new Abit TH7-II motherboard, but apparently some of the early boards had a few bugs. Has anyone heard if Abit has got these early teething problems fixed yet? Is there a new version of the board out yet? With the new P-4 price cuts announced to go into effect November 1st, I'm ready to put a P-4 system together.

It's still quirky to say the least. The lock on cold boot when either agp/pci "fix" or agp/pci "2/3" is enabled has not been fixed :rolleyes: Abit it telling people to set memory to 3x. Yeah right, who wants to do that :mad: The HP controller craps out at high pci speed, my cpu will do 2.1 Ghz+ all day long, but 41.3 Mhz+ pci speed isn't exactly doing wonders for my pci cards. If I were to buy today, I'd get the Asus P4T-E instead. I also have a Promise Fasttrak raid controller, and I'm not overly impressed with the onboard HP controller.

I have overclocked quite a few systems over the years, and I've had to reset the bios more times with this board alone, than any of the others put together over an 8-10 year period. That ought to give you an idea :( :(

Oh guano, this is not what I wanted to hear. Anyone else have comments or insight they'd like to share? BTW, I've heard that those Asus P4T boards are buggy too.

***bump back to the top***

I hear that people either have no problems with the Abit TH7-II or they have lots of problems. Anymore comments?

I have one, and the fix to 66 setting does not work.

I have a P4 1.7 that will easily do 2.0 or more, but the PCI/AGP bus is too damn high.

Man......I am so mad a ABIT right now, I could spit.

The fact that they deny there is a problem is enough to make me change my exclusivity of ABIT boards.

If they don't fix it soon, I will switch to ASUS or MSI, and never come back to ABIT.

The least they could do is admit there is a problem, and they are working on it.......even if it's a lie, I would feel better :(

Anyone see anything on this one..........http://www.msicomputer.com/product/detail_spec/850Pro5.htm
