So after a few months of attempting to get a hold of abit support, and a few phone calls that lead to nothing but being put on hold for hour+ each time...

I got sick of my computer not going into s3 standby and shutting down instead.

Browsed the forums for about 2 minutes, almost EVERY abit board is being complained about Crucial Balistix ram and S3 issues.... Everyones ram tests fine, systems run fine, but they all fail to go into S3 suspend, their systems shut down instead... Everyones who's problem was solved changed their ram, and seemingly from about 15 I came by everyone had Balistix ram...

</Rant
Wow abit, Great job, Great Support

Why couldn't they keep up the good work like the 478 days.....

But fair warning to people looking to buy or currently own abit boards, don't buy Balistix, I'm going to rma my board in the next few days here.

Aww thanks, better way to put it, *edited*

Ya no problem, you might be okay though, check their forums and see who is having issues and who isn't I didn't pay attention to all the mainboards listed, but there was quite a few, and people fairly commonly referring to Abit not liking Balistix/Tracer ram...
