There are lots of FTP sites that mirror Abits FTP site. Look around. But definetly go for the latest stable(non-beta) BIOS.

I don't know what makes you think that.
The FAQ on the Abit website used to say that a p/// 700 was the most the BH6 Rev1.0 would officially support.
If you put the CPU onto the board, it *will* work, as the CPU is multi-locked, it will automaticaaly tell the board I need a 7x Multiplier. I used to have a BH6 (before it popped a Mosfet on me), The last BIOS I has for it was SS. If you like, I can e-mail it to you. It has built-in support for multipliers up to 12x. I used to run a celeron 566 (8.5x multi) on it with no worries until it died and killed the celly with it.
My Geforce 2 sucked too much juice from my BH6. It kept freezing.
New boards. What do you want to spend? It's no good me recommending a $120 mobo if your budget will run to $60.
I've got a Soyo SY6VCA now, as a replacement for my BH6. It had all the features I was looking for and it was within my budget. Don't believe the crap spouted about VIA chipsetted mobos having poor RAM throughput. My new soyo (VIA694x/686A) beat (OK not by much, but it still beat it) my old BH6 (intel BX) on Sandra's Ram Benchmark at 112MHz FSB.

I keep getting CPU unreadable or workable. I disabled there error thing and set it at 112 bus...When it boots it says pIII700 but I really cant tell if its running any faster then it did with the 450. I'm new to this over clocking thing sry for my misinformed mind..LOL
As far as new boards go $$ doesn't matter. I like the slot 1's though so I hope to stick with them. There getting real cheap.
Thnx for your post its been very helpful.

Go into windows with the 700 and @ default settings and run wcpuid or sisoft sandra 2001 and see what they say the cpu is running at. Then if it works and it is at 700 then mess around with the bios and fsb and get it to go faster until it won't go anymore

It's the VIA 693A/686A that's the memory killer. The 694x is a much better offering.
