ABIT BX-133. Give me the good and bad.

I was thinking of getting this board and running it with a 700 pre-tested to 1Ghz. It will also have to run a Creative Labs Annihilator 2 Ultra.
If anyone has this board please let me know how you like it.
Thanks, Kent

I've got one of them...
A cB0 700e runs rock-solid at 933! (though not any higher) (@1.8v)
This was using Mushkin cas 2 memory, generic memory limited cpu to about 856.
At 933, both the Creative Labs Annihilator Pro and the ATI AIW Radeon work very well.
The built-in ata100 controller is nice for allowing an IBM hard drive, a dvd rom, and a cd re-writable to each have their own IDE channel.

I had my chioces narrowed down to the BX133 and the be6II v2 but I have a slot 1 800 so went with the be6.

Its very similar to the BE6II v2(slot 1) and thats what I have and love it. Just wish it had the 1/2x AGP clock but no bx mobo does. I think youll be happy with it. Go for it.
