an abit board dont trust abit even if they say it will run the quad! i bought a abit board that claimed it supported quad with the intentions of upgrading when they got cheaper.

after doing research on the abit forums, it became apparent that the chipset (975x) was just to outdated to support the quad stabaly

get yourself over to the abit forums and do a search for your board and find out if anyones tested a quad on it.
the guys on there are very good and do alot of real testing on the abit products
