This is the first Abit motherboard I've ever used for my personal computer. I'll be switching from the Asus P4PE motherboard. All equipment will remain the same except the board and memory. I'm upgrading my Mom's computer from a P3, 1GHz system and giving her my P4PE. I've no illusions about this upgrade. I was ready to skip the Intel 865 and 875 motherboards all together and I don't expect any real benefits except for the addition of the dual channel DDR and maybe a little better overclocking.
