Ah, Abit, the maker of Only Famous Motherboard as CRD woud call it in this long, but interesting, video. ▶ this video
> Half of HN alive at the time probably had that motherboard - ABIT BP6 LOL. Yep. Me too. Cathode Ray Dude's channel has a great video about the history of this amazing motherboard: ▶ this video
Was that the period of time when you got more bang for your buck building a PC with dual-socket Celerons than one high-end Pentium? EDIT: An excellent retrospective on it here: ▶ this video
