Thresh's FiringSquad heeft in dit artikel de i815 moedeborden van Abit, Asus en MSI eens met elkaar vergeleken. De CUSL2 van Asus kwam dankzij zijn goede features en performance als beste uit de test, op de voet gevolgd door de MSI 815 Pro die wat minder scoorde op tweakbaarheid. Abit's SE6 kwam helaas wat minder solide over maar profiteert wel van het uiterst tweakbare SoftMenu III. Hieronder meer uit de conclusie:
Based on the complete package offered by the CUSL2, we clearly feel it offers the best combination of price, features, and performance. The MSI 815E Pro finishes a close second with its equally impressive performance and feature-list, but just doesn't offer the same level of tweaking present on the CUSL2.
With it's combination of diagnostic LEDs, Fuzzy Logic II for overclocking, and EZ-BIOS for updating your system BIOS, the 815E Pro would be a good motherboard for those of you who haven't dabbled with overclocking or installing a new motherboard.
While we certainly weren't disappointed with the overall performance of the SE6 motherboard, in comparison to the other motherboards present here the SE6 just isn't as strong. The main strength of previous ABIT motherboards lied in their tweaking ability. In 1999 ABIT's SoftMenu III interface was the first of its kind to offer 1MHz increments for the system bus. While ASUS and MSI's offerings support this feature, the pioneer of this implementation is remarkably absent.
This, along with the aforementioned additional features offered on the 815E Pro relegate the SE6 to third place.
