Abit Closing its Doors?

A few years ago now, ABIT started its shocking fall from the top. Its management were excused and charged for bad financial practices, key staff walked away from the company, engineers jumped shipped – ABIT, as we knew it, would never to be the same as it once were.

Fast forward to this year and ABIT were left with a single product line to try and keep the company from collapsing – digital picture frames with the ability to print. They didn’t work out as planned, there were rumors of ABIT re-entering the graphics card market once again, but those rumors didn’t eventuate.

Computer enthusiasts join me in bidding farewell to the once mighty strong ABIT – they are going to close the company once and for all on December 31st.

I've had my share of awesome ABIT boards, they were an awesome company, then they decided screw the customer, since then, they have been down hill. What they once were will be missed. What they turned into, good ridance.

I hope MSI is next on the chopping block.

Abit in their prime will be missed.

Abit use to own Asus. These were awesome boards.

Abit BH6 (great Celeron overclocker, especially the popular 300A)

Abit NF7-S Rev 2.0 (great AMD Thoroughbred overclocker, expecially the 2100+)

I'd believe it uabit.com is gone. I guess no more bios updates for my PC, and I think I am having an issue with my MB now also :(.

RIP to the company that gave me the aforementioned NF7-S 2.0.

BP-6 (dual socket 370 and a pretty decent overclocker....)
