On a related topic:-

Unfortunately, Abit seems to have ceased being a leader in
'enthusiast' desktop montherboard in terms of providing leading-edge
enthusiast functionality and has now resorted to inexpensive (for
them) and poorly-functional gimmicks like uGuru and OTES. The rot
seems to have been synchronous with the appearance of Abit
boards at Fry's. Seems as if Abit management decided to go main-stream

and take on the #1 tier quantity-suppliers head-on in the mid-priced
motherboard arena with additional 'added-value" (??) features such as
uGuru. This may have been a desperation move, since there have been
negative rumors about Abit's finances. Maybe the strategy will
succeed.. time will tell..However, Abit's interest in producing
state-of-art 'enthusiast' boards earlier and with greater
functionality than the competition seems to have significantly waned.

Abit has currently ceded the 'enthusiast' crown to DFI, MSI and (dare
I say it) ASUS...

MSI P4N Diamond ( in stock at Egghead, $229 ) -- Intel single &
dual-core with software-enabled SLI, PCIe, Intel nF4chip-set,
Creative 24-bit 7.1 ch. 24-bit audio.

ASUS A8N-SLI PREMIUM ( announced, not yet in retail ) - AMD
single & dual-core, nF4 chip-set with software-enabled SLI

DFI LanParty nf4-SLI-DR - AMD single/dual-core, nF4 chip-set,
SLI using daughter-board...

This is a familiar problem. Read here:

What...at a time when they have clearly upped the quality of their
components? Like the introduction of Japanese capacitors etc?

I can understand folk getting a hard-on for LanParty and the like - they
make fine boards - but no excuse to believe Abit to be downgrading their
quality. They are most certainly not making a conscientious effort to
downgrade their quality, or customer base FTM.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Ohh - Gr8.
no cabel with the mb to connect to the header on the MB.
Or there is the standard USB & FW + something else, the "extention
cable with bracket"

but the Guru header looks like this: x[]xxxx

the USB header looks like this: xxxx[]
xxxx[]

is there no info anywhere on how to connect it?
if I knew the VCC, +, -, Gnd it would be no problem to a frontpanel
