Abit and the number 7

[madcow235]

Why does every abit board have a 7in it?? why not an 8 or a 9?

they probably will with the next generation of im guessing CPUs - I mean didnt they have there old "6" chipsets out with all the last generation of CPUs? or am I reading too much into that and there is another reason for there numbering system

I know the AMD boards all use 7 in the model number because the Athlon is the K7. I'm not sure why they use 7 in their Intel boards though....

wasnt the big overclocking celeron board the BE-7?

 

[ninthebin]

be the BE6 wouldnt it - dunno if its the 6 im guessing my CPU generation theory passes out, if it is the 7 - then were all in a world of hurt

BE6 is the slot1 mobo
