Abit removed from AMD approved list...

[Xayd]

Quote from today's news I caught at AMDZone...

Shukla just sent me word that AMD has removed Abit motherboards from its Recommended Motherboard List. He wrote to AMD asking why Abit was removed, here is what he heard back: AMD continually updates its motherboard validation testing suite for the AMD Athlon and AMD Duron processors to ensure that all of the recommended motherboards listed on our public web site abide by our product specifications for operation. In recent testing, we detected that a few of the motherboards recommended on our site were not operating within our specifications and therefore removed them from our recommended list. AMD makes no representations or warranties with respect to any information provided on our motherboard recommendation lists for the AMD Athlon and AMD Duron processors relating to the products of other companies, and expressly disclaims any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement with respect to such products. Furthermore, the inclusion of such information does not constitute an endorsement by AMD of the product. If you are having difficultly booting your system with a board that you purchased and it was previously included on our AMD recommended motherboard list, we would recommend that you return it to the reseller to exchange it for one that is currently listed. Regards, AMD

Wonder what they got into a fight about?

wow, lucky man!
I was planning to buy the Abit K7T Raid. Now, I have changed my mind. I'm leaning to Asus mabo.

I wonder what Abit says about this???? Damn furriners.. first Pearl Harbor and now this. Maybe all our base are belong to them!

[cobra]

I would still buy another Abit.

Hey X,
Yeah, I read the same thing over at HWC. That Epox is starting to look real good right now!

Hmmm, interesting info there Xayd. Always thought the KT7A was the king of the hill of athlon/duron boards. Is the Asus A7V still on the list? With all the trouble people have been having with tbirds on it?

[Xayd]

From everything I've seen I still consider Abit the king of the hill for Athlon mobos. I'll bet there's more to this than meets the eye.

AMD also has Deer power supplies listed on their "approved" list, but everyone who's used one knows how shotty those things are.

Their approved list needs to be taken with a grain of salt, IMHO. I dunno what's going on behind the scenes that caused Abit to be removed, but from the number of users who love their KT7s and KT7As, I don't think this is justified.

Transformers: More than meets the eye...

Now all I wonder is how on Earth this "All your base belong to us" thing became so popular?

[wrelax]

Xayd...hehe thanks. Damn how did you do that with the movie? My friggin friend keeps saying that and i was wonderin.

[mrjohnsonjr]

that movie reminds me of a site that showed some kung-fu movies where the subtitle translations were screwed up or misinterpreted.......


make your time????

very interesting:0)

When that happens,it usually means AMD found a small fault when testing,usually corrected by a new bios or revision.
One can expect Abit to be reinstated soon.
As far as the Deer power supplies,they work okay at the rated speed,DON"T overclock with them,it's then their true sh****ness comes out!Like toasting your whole computer!
The movie is cool!
