I am always a fan of Abit's MB. I like their design and " sole " .
For the extra 4-pin Molex power connector for SLI .
I suppose it would be a better idea to put it is now , or putting it above the first PCI-express X16 slot.
rather than at a spot near the SATA . I would say engineers design it that for cleaner
power for the GPUs . I remember it was a selling point for the Asus' first SLI MB.
Can you share if you still have it the LDT settings? I'm running 4X on all 3 options and having some stablity issues. Do you suggest to lower the multi to 8x instead of 11x? I'm currently running San Diego 3700+ with default multi.
I ran the board with the CPU at its default multiplier (in this case 14x for FX-57). We've also ran FX-60 and a 3700+ San Diego at default settings in the board, too.

Anyway, I had LDT set to 5x on all three options and 16/16 both ways on both K8->NB and NB->SB. Here's a pic of the BIOS settings page:
