Abit AN52 any good?

Fry's has this motherboard with Athlon'64X2 dual core processor 4800+ on
sale. Is it reliable?

Same processor comes with ECS GeForce 6100SM-M motherboard. Wondering which
boards are better. Any comments?

I've been checking out the AN52 also, but it appears the board is so new
it's hard to get feedback on it.
Check out Newegg.com for customer reviews.
But I would rather have the AN52 over the 6100.

I would say NO! I bought this board and I've had nothing but problems
with it. I couldn't get the 32 bit Win XP to load. Then when I tried a
64 bit version of XP then PC was very unstable. Then to make matters
worse Abit doesn't list the board on it's website. Spend the extra
money and buy a better baord.

I don't know about the reliability of the board, but it is indeed listed
on their site:
