Ik weet niet of dit al gepost is maar hier is de mening van abit.
Dus waarschijnlijk geen abit mobo's met een nf3 chipset
ABIT Claims nForce3 250 “Unstable”
ABIT continued this week to demonstrate its position to provide its customers only the best and rock-stable solutions. The company’s anonymous representative told The Inquirer web-site that NVIDIA’s latest core-logic for AMD Athlon 64 processors – the nForce3 250-series – was not enough stable to serve ABIT’s mainboards. Later another source with knowledge of the mainboard maker’s plans told X-bit labs that ABIT still has NVIDIA nForce3 250 mainboards in the roadmap.
“There is a discussion about stability of NVIDIA nForce3 250-series of chipsets…” an anonymous source close to ABIT told X-bit labs.
“Why we are not optimistic about the nForce3 250-series? Well, let me put it this way: we are known for performance, stability, reliability and everything that is involved…” commented a source close to another well-known mainboard maker to X-bit labs.

“I can understand ABIT in regards of the nForce3 250. Despite of being very popular among enthusiasts, the previous-generation nForce2 core-logic appeared to be pretty unstable, especially when overclocking. One of the issues with the nForce2 were processor system bus’ frequencies jumping up and down by around 5%, another was lost BIOS settings stored in flash memory. Both troubles probably cost ABIT’s technical support a headache and now engineers from the company want to try everything really thoroughly so that not to run into the same problems again,” said Ilya Gavrichenkov, platform analyst for X-bit labs.
Some believe that NVIDIA will be able to solve all the possible problems with the nForce3 250-series with a revamped revision of the chips. Unfortunately, no one knows when this happens and when mainboard makers are confident about NVIDIA’s latest core-logic.
On the other hand, at least some manufacturers of mainboards, such as Chaintech, ship the nForce3 250-series based platforms now, which means that either they ignore certain possible issues or have ways to overcome the potential problems.
