I have an old Abit IT5H (430HX Pentium board) and I wasn't very happy
when I found out Abit had screwed up parity/ECC RAM support on the
revision of the board I have. It also occasionally, on boot-up, decides
that the "soft" CPU clock and/or voltage settings are invalid and
reverts to 75MHz, a problem you wouldn't get with jumpers 8-)

Maybe their newer boards are better...
