no board is worth the price tag the Abit's claiming! especially when it really hasn't been any added performance over any other board on the market in any review so far, granted there are few reviews as of late, but i would never pay 200 bones or more for a board that can't offer me all the features they can give us, no lan, no sound, raid's extra!, and the cooler on the chip seems to have no thermal compound from the factory(not a great big deal, but a detail they shouldn't skimp on!) and what's more, it seems to me they're trying to capitalize on name recognition, and not on consumer consciensiousness. I mean, if Soyo and a select other few motherboard manuf can offer the consumers onboard lan and 5.1 audio, with raid, for less than 150 bucks, why can't abit?
