H-ABIT-ual failures.
I first started tinkering with computer hardware more out of necessity than curiousity, when I learnt how to upgrade an Intel 80486SX processor to an AMD 5x86 processor to prolong the life of some unbranded DIY computer back in 1995. Since then, I have been through a couple of processors and several different brands of motherboards.
Despite their price, I have always preferred Asus motherboards, and haven’t experienced any problems whatsoever so far. But with the ABIT brand of motherboards, I have experienced nothing but comprehensive arse luck. Twice I’ve used their products – an NF7 sometime ago and a KD7A recently – and both experiences ended in unexpected & unusual hardware failures. While everyone else has a perfectly workable machine with this reputable and relatively budget-friendly motherboard manufacturer, I just don’t know why I’m ABIT unlucky.
