On 2-23-2006 we published a picture of what we believed to be a prototype of a new Abit NF5 motherboard.  It now appears that picture was nothing more than a doctored photograph of the MSI K9N prototype that was previewed over at gathering.tweakers.net.  If you look closely at the second picture shown there, and compare it to our picture, you will see that the two motherboards are in fact identical.

Our apologies for all those who started salivating for nothing.  The picture was presented in good faith, both on our part and on the part of the member who posted it.  All we can say is that sometimes, in an effort to be ahead of the curve on breaking news, mistakes are made.  When they are made and we discover them, we will make sure that we come clean.
