After a long hiatus, it looked like abit was regaining some of it's strength a couple of years ago, but the lack of such successful products as the ones they pulled out at the end of the 90's (along with it's inability to compete in the budget sector) may translate into the end of their business.

According to some, and regardless of abit's denial, if sales of their P45 chipset based motherboards aren't up to meet their goals, those will be the last ones under the abit brand. And what's the goal, you ask? Oh, about six million boards, not too many if we consider that last year they didn't reach half that figure. No, wait, that's what they thought they would be selling before 2008 started, but they're actually selling less this year. No wonder someone at Universal Scientific Industrial (the owners), has gotten a little bit impatient and asked for immediate results.

Let's see who's so bold as to order their products now. You might not be getting any kind of support afterwards.
