OCworkbench.com heeft een review klaarliggen van Abit's dual-processor VP6 moederbord. Deze langverwachte opvolger van de BP6 is afhankelijk van VIA's 694X chipset, heeft een 1xAGP/5xPCI/4xDIMM layout en beschikt over onboard IDE-RAID mogelijkheden. Het bord werd getest met twee Pentium III 800EB processoren, die stabiel wilden draaien op 155MHz. De benchmarkresultaten van de VP6 waren goed, net als de stabiliteit, waar niets op aan te merken viel. Enig nadeel dat de reviewer weet te bedenken is het ontbreken van ondersteuning van de oudere Celerons:
It seems that ABIT is ABIT late in releasing their 2nd generation Dual Processor board. I think ABIT has done proper research and has made a solution that is affordable. Priced at SGD275 (USD160), it is one of the cheapest Dual Board that you can find in the market.
Being a market leader in overclocking, it has brought the SoftMenuIII and overclocking features onto a Dual Board which can be easily configured compared to meddling with undocumented jumpers.
A disappointment is that VP6 does not support the old Celerons (300As) that we used to run happily on the ABIT BP6. It is indeed a bad move for those who wants to have a cheap SMP solution as Coppermine processors are still pretty expensive compared to the Thunderbirds/Duron.
