abit
The motherboard humming away in my nice Tempest case right now is an Abit IP35 Pro, and unfortunately it will be the last Abit motherboard I ever bought. Because respected enthusiast hardware maker Abit is riding off into the sunset. They’ll no longer be producing motherboards, and although they won’t be going out of business entirely, they can’t say what exactly they’ll be producing.

I’m not some hardcore overclocker, but this motherboard has been stable, cool, and all-round good for me since I bought it a year and a half ago, so I’d like to say thanks personally to Abit for putting out a great product, and we hope things turn out okay for them.
