Which Mobo that I should Pick from Abit?? Abit BE6-II Ver2.0 or SH6?

[Elin27]

I am currently using my BH6 Version 1.0 and I found out it's pretty rock stable. However, I gonna switch to a new motherboard in order to optimize my PIII 800 Slot 1 CPU (More FSB settings, I/O voltage adjusts, PCI Ratio, etc). I don't know which mobo that I should buy?? BE6-II Ver2.0 or SH6. BE6 II version Ver 2.0 is Rock Solid with lot of good features but SH6 features I815E Chipset. Of coz, I really want to go try the new chipset (BE6II are still old BX Chipset) ....Anyone who have any recommendation??

The bx chipset is still intels fastest chipset in use, there aren't many new features with the be6-II over the be6 and I have seen benchmarks that score it lower (not by much only a couple of %) so I would recomend the bx133-raid, this will give you a raid controller should you choose to use it.

Did you read my new Chips? it's SLOT1 P3-800
BX133 is FCPGA. It wont fit

The BE6-II v2 also has a raid controller. I love mine. Easy to use, and easy to get every last little bit from that cpu...

oops, missed that, well in that case I would recomend you save your money becasue it's only really a side ways upgrade nothing special, save your money for some more ram or a better vid card or something

You want more sour juice, get BE6-2 Rev.2 no doubt..

BE6-II...no doubt...

or save yourself of getting the crap highpoint 370 controller and buy a BF6 and a PCI ATA66/100-RAID card...much better. =)
