ABit ST6 questions.

Does anyone know if the ST-6 mobo have the APIC feature which let an APIC enabled OS like NT/2k/XP to allocate more than 16 interrupts ??? I'm currently using an ASUS TUSL2-C and you can set it to APIC mode in the BIOS.

If I'm going to use a Tualatin on ST-6, what would be the max. Vcore I could attend without using the wire trick ??

Does it come with an utility just like the "EasyTune III" of Gigabyte which allows you to overclock directly in Windows ?


Thanks in advance.

Nope on APIC. At least, no mention in the manual on my run through it.

With a default 1.475 v, the ST6 lets you hit 1.6.

Nope on a Windows based OCing utility.
I doubt Rise of Abit still works on this board.

Remember....That's for the lucky ones of us that get a 'really' good chip. Dosen't nessecarily mean all 1.2's will pull this speed at this voltage on an St-6....

(unless you mean 'voltage?!')

Thanks Sklathill....How about the latest BIOS ??? As a newer bios may add APIC feature which will not be mentioned in the manual (which printed before Bios release). Can you or anyone who owns an Abit ST-6 mobo go into your BIOS and see if you can spot any APIC feature related setting.

There is also another quick way to check if you are using Win2k/XP. Go into device manager and expand the "Computer" branch. If it contains the word "uniprocessor" or "multiprocessor", the mobo is using APIC mode.

Thanks.

I believe it shows "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)"

Didn't see it in the bios here. Unfortunately, I don't have either 2k or XP, so I can't check out that solution.

And yes, I did mean 1.6 volts, not GHz. (Gah, I know I should be happy at 1.53, but I'd LOVE to get everything in spec...)

just a quick ask, does the board support 1/5 divider?

No 1/5 divider here.
