ARE ABIT boards good.

Very good in my opinion.

This is not totally accurate. Abit mobos have to have VTT tracking or no mem at all would ever run stable in them. They just do their VTT tracking differently than others. It is true the the OCZ voltage booster will probably not work on the IC7 Abit series with out a mod. But a lot of mobos need a mod of one type or another to OC well.nimrod_o said:Well i have an IS7.
After a lot of reading, i have found that abit has another problem (apart from temp. readings) that is memory voltage control.
Abit boards DON'T have VTT tracking.
That means if you wanted to increase VDIMM with something like OCZ DDR Booster with out modding your board - you can't. You still have to do the VTT mode and set it according to VDIMM.
So i think my next board might be an ASUS which does have VTT Tracking.
