But it *does* support 66, 75, 83, 100, 112, *and* 133MHz.
Not had any problems with mine to date.....

I assume you have the BX6 then? I just got a BH6 myself with a C 300A do
you know just what all the differences are between the BX6 and BH6? I
know there are a different number of slots but other than that I dont
know anything about how the two compare.
I'll be doing another computer soon and may just put a BX6 in it if
there is any advantage to them as opposed to the BH6.

multiplier locked at 4.5 in the cpu itself, the abit's have a softmenu,
e-z overclocking
no worries
kind of, I have heard of lots of conflicts depending on other factors

no.
good luck, 90% go to 374, 80% to 450, a few to 504 and beyond

John,
I'm curious as to why you replied "no" to the Celeron 400?
I just put together a machine using the Abit BH6 and C 330A and am happy
with it so far, I am going to be doing a second computer soon and was
considering a C 400 with another BH6.
What are the problems with the 400? Is it bus locked as well as
multiplier? I was thinking it should be capable of around 600 Mhz?
Thanks
Trev
If you intend to run the C400A at it's intended speed, or possibly 112MHZ
front buss you should have no problems.

If I build another pc I'll use the BH6, as I've heard lots of good
things about it. And the extra PCI slots will be important as ISA is
gradually phased out.
