| EricHeinz's Full Review: Abit BE6 Motherboard |
This is definately the best Slot 1 board on the market today. I would suggest you buy it if you are going to get either a celeron, p2, or p3. Not only does it offer the standard features, it also includes what's called a soft bios, which means that you dont need to use jumpers to overclock your cpu. this is great if you have a cheap celeron and you want to get it up to the speed of the more expensive p2's and p3's.
I would recommend you check out the celeron 300A in conjunction with this motherboard. that particular cpu has been known to overclock very well at 450 mhz. you can find them on ebay for around $60, and that combined with the $100 for this board would give you a very nice setup for less than $200. compare that with bundles that include this board with 600 mhz p3's and you will see a several hundred dollar price differencial.
