Abit did it again.

by sharkis , Jul 09 '00
Pros: Great features, jumperless
Cons: a bit expensive
I have a slight grudge with Abit because they sold me on the BE-6 when it came out (which sucks). But the BE-6r2 is right on the money. Everything about it is great. This boards actually works. Everything works on it, and I have no complaints....

Overclocker's Dream

Pros: Everything -- May be the perfect motherboard
Cons: This board is a tad small making massive heatsink/fans cover 1-2 DIMMs

Pros: Stable, runs well
Cons: Hard to find, UDMA66 may be difficult to setup
I have been using an Abit BE6-II board for about 6 months. This board has been stable and really hasn't presented any problems. The only problem I've encountered is with setting up the UDMA66 controller. I believe this problem was more due to...
