Yes. ABIT is renowned as the leading manufacturer of motherboards with overclocking abilities. You can find the reivews for the AMD and Intel versions here:

The general impression is that's it's over priced and over rated.


Like it was already suggested, go with AMD. Faster and you won't run into the cooling problems associated with a Intel 3.0.

I've been wary of ABIT ever since they started shifting production to ECS's factories. Go Asus !
