Abit Fatal1ty AN8 SLI

Abit's entrance on AMD's socket 939 platform can be described as hesitant. While other manufactures were quick to release motherboard based on partly VIA's K8T890 chipset and nVIDIA´s nForce 4 chipset there were non from Abit. At the end of 2004 Abit did release two motherboards with these circuits, the AX8 (K8T890) and AN8 (NF4). Many expected a high performance motherboard based on NF4 mainly because they had waited with the release. The result was nothing more than an ordinary NF4 without any groundbreaking features. Besides, it didn't even support SLI! What were they thinking?

The last Abit mobo I had was an Abit, it was a bit of shit!
It wouldn't even work with my old Celery 1.7, in a Celery Broccoli combination!

Hopefully the ones endorsed by the supposedly best gamer in the world are better!
