To me, Abit has been in a decline ever since they produced the NF7 and IC7 series. It's a crying shame too as they used to be the main company I looked at for motherboards too.
From what I read they want to be in the enthusiast/overclocking/gaming company. Thats why they have advertised their Fatal1ty lineup of products so much. That is the direction they want to go towards. I heard read they want to push their Fatal1ty video card lineup more now.

What about going to their forums and asking about it?
