BH6 vs P2B/P3B

by nad_masters nad_masters is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Computer Hardware, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jul 13 '02
Pros: Soft Jumpers/Switches
Cons: Unable to overclock, does not shut down properly
When you go pick up a motherboard, what goes on in your mind? Price? Reliability? Features? The ability to overclock?

Back in the day of PC100 PCs, where Intel's Pentium IIs ran under most hoods, it was well known that the Intel BX chipset...

Abit BH6 - An old friend.

by lpmiller , May 17 '00
Pros: Reliable, durable, flexable
Cons: Older board, not as many options as the newer BX and VIA boards.
Ok, a motherboard isn't really your friend. It wont pick you up after your car up and dies, it wont fend off the evil hordes attacking your castle, it can't even cook Mac and Cheese when you have the munchies.

But without a good one, your PC...

ABIT: The Only Choice

by otaking , May 08 '00
Pros: Everything.
Cons: Nothing.
I consider myself to be somewhat of an expert on hardware: I spent 4 years of my life in various hardware capacities, from technical support all the way to test engineering to pre-production engineering. Abit was recommended to me by one of the other...

Not the Newest, But a Great Board

by RBradford , Jul 14 '00
Pros: 5 PCI slots, 1 AGP, Easy to configure, BX chipset
Cons: Not the "Newest Kid on the Block"
Thank you, Abit for the CPU Soft Menu and making jumpers obsolete. This is probably my favorite feature of the BH6 motherboard from Abit. All of the motherboard settings are configured through the setup program, including CPU clock settings. There is...

For Those Who Want a System That Works

by saveth , Apr 30 '00
Pros: i/o features, chipset capabilities, bios options, overclocking ability
Cons: watch battery engineering
*note: This review is going to be directed toward power-users because, in my experience, it is generally the power-users who get picky about the motherboards they buy. Most people don't even know what a motherboard is, anyway.

I bought my...

Good in its day but now not a wise choice.

by shazzam90 , Sep 17 '00
Pros: Good for its day, easy of configuration, cheap
Cons: lack of irq assignment, some qc issues
I was actually really surprised to see a review of the Abit bh6 main board here on epinions still since it has been so long since its hay day. I was one of the people who bought and built a system based on the configuration that brought Abit into the...

The Abit BH6 Nightmare

by culthero , Apr 19 '01
Pros: We got smart.
Cons: Others have yet to see "the truth".
My company had a most unfortunate experience from the ABIT BH6 motherboard. Initial problems arose when we had isolated two problems: Faulty mouse port and several faults with the IDE controllers. After careful troubleshooting of swapping mice, drives,...

Definately not ABIT to much

by blueblazrr , May 05 '00
Pros: Highly upgradable, high memory storage, cheap
Cons: Not 370 chip capable with out a SLOTKET
This motherboard was suggested to me by not only a store clerk but in many magazines that i had read when i was looking to build my first PC. This board turned out to not only be compatable and extremely upgradable, but dependant. From a PII to a PIII...

It was an overclocker's dream.

by billnaef , Jul 03 '00
Pros: great bios, stable
Cons: 2+ years old
I decided to purchase the Abit BH-6 back in the summer of 1998 on the advice of Anandtech.com which was recommending the motherboard to those of us new to building custom systems. It was a very wise purchase.

I have nothing but good things to...

Excellent board

by MADwand , Jun 13 '00
Pros: Very easy to use
Cons: haven't found any, I guess it could be cheaper...
I have never built a personal computer before, but have now built 2 using this mother board. It was a pleasure to work with. On mine I added a Celeron 300a and easily overclocked it to 450. I had no problems hooking up any of the components on both...

keeps going, and going and going

by 2bad , Dec 30 '00
Pros: SoftMenu, jumperless, high performance, reliability
Cons: "old"
I can't kill this board. It refuses to die. I've been running at Celery 300A overclocked to 450 on this for board for almost 2 years and it refuses to give up.

This board was one of the first to come out with no jumpers. God is real...

BH6, and why it wont die

by i_am_ed , Mar 08 '01
Pros: Excellent stability, excellent overclocking, excellent moddability
Cons: Not the newest motherboard
I bought this board seemingly over three years ago. It has been on every day since. I have put everything in it, from first generation and second generation Celerons, to Pentium IIs, and Pentium IIIs. Stability is well above par, and has decreased...
