Bij 3D Unlimited is een review te vinden van Abit's bekende dual socket 370 plaat, de BP6. Verdere inleiding niet nodig lijkt me...
One of the best things about this board is the integrated Ultra ATA/66 controller. You can use all of the newest devices without having to buy a controller card. Combined with the 2 UDMA/33 channels you get 4 IDE channels allowing up to 8 IDE devices. Another feature that I enjoyed was that the board has temperature monitors directly under the sockets so that they nearly touch the processor. The one gripe that I have is the lack of expandability, being limited to using sockets 370 processors but even that’s not too bad due to the newer, faster, and just as overclockable 500 MHz Celerons that are also dirt-cheap. One part that I loved about this board is SOFT MENU II, with enough bus speeds to satisfy even the most insane of overclockers. Multiplier settings up to 8x and bus speeds up to 133MHz. I have a friend who, using matched OEM Celerons, booted into Win98 running 600MHz at 2.1 volts using nothing but stock cooling with no thermal compound. For all you critics out there, yes I do know that Win98 doesn’t support duals, but it’s a good test to see how far these babies will go. If your chip can’t make a 100MHz FSB then you have 23 choices in between 100 and 66. All in all this is a great board for rendering in 3d Studio Max or playing Quake 3 with your buds, providing that you also have a decent graphics card a la TNT2.
