abit was a famous motherboard brand in the past. After changing hands and renamed as Universal abit, it didnt pickup the reins. The company no longer manufacture motherboards and changed to multimedia products. It didnt do very well and shut its operations thereafter.
Although the products were no longer on sale, the site at abit.com.tw was still available for end users to download bios, manuals etc.
On Feb 28 2012, this will all come to an end as the web administrator has posted a message on its site indicating that the site will be shut down forever.
It is really unfortunate to see the demise of the site. Anyway, the RD people are still around, working hard and making better boards for other brands.
I used a specific quote “Gigabyte has said the issue stems from a combination of poor quality PWM components and bad firmware.” I should’ve fact checked before posting, and done some background work before making a statement like that and trusting a single source. For this, I apologise on behalf of TweakTown. <
