[CoSD]Headbanger schrijft: "Patrick Schmid van Tom's Hardware Guide heeft een BX-roundup geschreven. De volgende borden worden besproken en met elkaar vergeleken: de Abit BE6-II & Abit BF6, Azza DIBX2+ & DIBX4, Asus CUBX, Epox EP-BX7, Gigabyte GA-6BX7+, Lucky Star 6ABX2C, MSI BX Master, QDI BrillianX 1S/2000 en de Soyo SY-6BA+ IV. Alle borden kregen een dikke voldoende, maar de Asus CUBX komt als snelste uit de test te voorschijn":
It's practically impossible to spot a winner among those BX boards, as the differences regarding performance are minor, while all boards can be differentiated by lots of features. Asus, Epox, Gigabyte and MSI come with a bunch of functions and add-ons: Epox features an IDE-RAID controller, whereas the boards from Gigabyte and MSI have been equipped with a backup BIOS chip.The best overclocking boards come from ABit, Asus, Epox and MSI. But the Asus actually has some trouble when overclocking the new Celeron at a higher voltage.
As you can see, every board has several pro and contra arguments. Highly equipped boards are of course clearly more expensive than plain ones. All candidates ran absolutely stable, which is still not commonplace today.
