Venator bracht ons een link naar Hot Hardware waar ze de Abit SE6 i815 eens hebben vergeleken met de Abit BX133-RAID. Qua performance is er niet zo gek veel verschil tussen de twee te ontdekken. De SE6 kan makkelijker overweg met hoge bussnelheden van bv 150MHz vanwege zijn AGP 1/2 divider terwijl de BX133 kan profiteren van superieure harddisk performance dankzij RAID ondersteuning. Hieronder een gedeelte uit de test:
Both boards are excellent over-clockers. We were torn between the excellent stability of all bus speeds with the SE6 and the unbelievable range of options with respect to FSB settings on the BX133-RAID. The SE6 exhibited the ability to run up to it's full 153 MHz. front side bus, with full stability, on our unlocked engineering sample Coppermine. The BX133-RAID could do this as well but failed to run 3D apps above 140MHz. FSB with our Voodoo5 (not used testing). On the other hand, the Elsa Gladiac GeForce 2 card held up fine on the BX133-RAID, up to a top end of 155MHz. FSB with a 2/3 divider for a blistering 102MHz. AGP bus speed. The V5 topped out at 92MHz. (if you are doing the math).
One of the strong points for the SE6, is its 1/2 FSB AGP clock divider. Even at the full 153MHz., all graphics cards we tested ran flawlessly. If you need higher bus speeds for over-clocking, the SE6 is your board. If you want lots of over-clocking options and have a 2D/3D card that can handle high AGP speeds, the BX133-RAID is more for your taste, especially if you set it up for RAID 0 hard drive configuration.
