The Abit ST6 - has anyone used this mobo?

[Humantuckshop]

The Gigabyte 60X in the olds computer has finally died, so it's time for a new Socket 370 mobo. I am thinking about getting the Abit ST6, and I just wanted to know if anyone has had experience with it or heard of any problems with it.

It's damn difficult to find a decent review of this mobo on google, the best one I could find was this: http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/reviews/article/1390.1/

Oh and here are the motherboard specs: http://www.abit.com.tw/abitweb/webjsp/english/pt_main_back.jsp?pPRODUCT_TYPE=MotherBoard&pMODEL_NAME=ST6


Cheers.

try this review (http://systemlogic.neoseeker.com/resourcelink.html?rid=37683) hope tis of some help , never used this board myself...

Yeah read that one, the Hardware Analysis and the Hardware Unlimited reviews were the only two I could find, thanks for looking tho. :D

Neither of the reviews give details on the overclocking abilities of the board either (one review states that the max FSB setting is 250MHz - but I don't think I'll quite be getting there), the CPU that will be used is a PIII 750MHz (100x7.5) SL462 stepping, I know it can run @ 133MHz FSB........ It's just the old 6OX never provided enough voltage, the comp would POST but not load into windoze. :mad:

dont suppose u coulda vmod'd it

Well, the 60X was the mobo from the olds computer anyway, so I didn't really want to risk damaging it.......

It has SoftMenu III which should give similar options as the KR7A does.

Yeah, SoftMenuIII rocks - I just hope the CPU core voltage goes up to (hopefully a bit higher) 1.85V. The crappy 60X only had a +10% jumper which gave a sad 1.81V.

Although being an Abit it should. :D
