ip35 now unavailable?

[gorobei]

-first the ip35e gets canceled because it's eating into ip35 and ip35pro sales.
-the ip35v comes out and no one buys it so they bring back the ip35e.
-now the ip35 "middle of the road" board is unavailable.

what is up with abit?

I'm not sure what your source is, but if it's Newegg remember that they are not the end all be all of computer hardware.

They're idiots. But at least they realize it.

newegg and mwave are no longer even listing it. I'm sure that there are plenty of retailers with the ip35 on the shelves, but my concern is that abit is still making it. Continued sales means a larger user base and more incentive for the manufacturer to continue working on bios upgrades. I suspect newegg and mwave go thru stock faster than most. If they've already stopped listing it then either there's something up in the supply pipeline or another board is taking its place. If it's "EOL" you think they would announce it.

The Abit 35 series are the easiest boards I have ever dealt with, if only all boards were this friendly and stable. High clocks, stablilty, good layout, etc.. I hope they stay in it for the long haul.....

I do wish that people would stop rumourmongering ...
Do you have any hard evidence/information that this is true?
Afaik abit never stopped & restarted production of the IP35-E & it only seems to be in the US that this in/out of stock exists or causes such speculation.
