The one thing I immediately noticed in the review is that your image popups use javascript. DON'T DO THAT! It makes it impossible to decide where I want the image located. Once I clicked one popup (which worked), none of the others worked. Please fix this.

intel is really setup to screw many people, with the release of new chipset

with dual core.

cant wait for the review to come out. seems like a great board..
but i think the dolby certified audio is a waste of money.
majority will plug in their own sound card...
Nforce 4 Intel Edition too expensive for me..1.3k per board. cut throat

Yup, this is a good board and has got potential. But the BIOS is crap at the moment... I hope a new BIOS will be release before I finish testing it.

Hello DanaG,

We have been using this script for ages. Never had any problems with it.

May I know exactly what problem you are referring to?

erm..abit is notorious for their bad BIOS support..
actually is bad customer support...

This is nothing like the NF7 BIOS...The BIOS is buggy and lacking features that they are supposed to support in the first place.

NF7 is just less refined.

hehehe, it seems like all companies do have bad stuff once in awhile but we can't let that be the reason to deny a good company that produce good stuff.

DanaG · 11th Jul 2005, 06:31 PM

well, when I click the javascript

opwin links, only the very first one opens. Nothing at all happens. It seems adblock is stopping it, since you DID name the function popwin. There's a way to make pages open in new windows WITHOUT javascript, though. http://wp.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/2...mo/target.html
