Those you are planning to buy or already buy from Abit who do not know this should definately what you are buying. The Abit motherboards with 3rd-Eye do not perform better than those w/o 3rd-Eye. An Abit AX8 performs on par with an Abit AX8 3rd-Eye. The only difference is that the 3rd-Eye shows that the board is bundled with a Guru Clock which in my opinion is unnecessary, but all the more great too.
