i have an Abit Nf2 board and although I don't use the onboard video, I
love the motherboard. It boots faster than my old Asus, it runs more
stable, I have had zero mb problems. This includes getting good textures
from my ATI vidcard, my old Asus MB had all sorts of video corruption
issues when I stuck the ATI in. Just changing the mb cleared all that up.
