I am a reseller and have been waiting for almost two weeks for my
distributor to receive their shipment of Abit BH6 motherboards. Luckily,
they arrived Monday and I should have them tomorrow. I was told that the
production plants shut down for two weeks around Christmas time, although I
wasn't told what for. Anyway, seems as if production may be back up again,
so someone in your area should have some in soon.
My distributor is also one of the main distributors of the Impression brand
of products. The motherboards are generally made by another company and
Impression puts their name on them. I use to sell some of their boards, but
generally had too many go bad to continue using them. I would check out
anandtech.com to see what other boards that are easy to overclock are
available. Or, just wait for the Abit's to be in stock again!
