Pros: Soft Jumpers/Switches
Cons: Unable to overclock, does not shut down properly
Summary: When you go pick up a motherboard, what goes on in your mind? Price? Reliability? Features? The ability to overclock?

Pros: We got smart.
Cons: Others have yet to see "the truth".
Summary: 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, ... read more

Pros: Excellent stability, excellent overclocking, excellent moddability
Cons: Not the newest motherboard
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: SoftMenu, jumperless, high performance, reliability

Pros: Good for its day, easy of configuration, cheap
Cons: lack of irq assignment, some qc issues
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: 5 PCI slots, 1 AGP, Easy to configure, BX chipset
Cons: Not the "Newest Kid on the Block"

Pros: great bios, stable
Cons: 2+ years old
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Very easy to use
Cons: haven't found any, I guess it could be cheaper...
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Reliable, durable, flexable
Cons: Older board, not as many options as the newer BX and VIA boards.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Cons: Nothing.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Cons: Not 370 chip capable with out a SLOTKET

Pros: i/o features, chipset capabilities, bios options, overclocking ability
Cons: watch battery engineering
Summary: *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 ... read more
