Whats the best buy for a motherboard

[Sweeper]

ABit BH-6 or Asus P2B.
those are my two limited choices.
Which is the better choice
ABit is 105 dollars
Asus is 135 dollars
going to overclock a Pentium II 350
which is easier to use.
I have used the Abit before but never the Asus.
going to install on MB:
Maxtor 8 gig HD
128 meg ram
DVD rom
3 1/2 floppy
viper770 ultra
for now(generic Yamaha sound card)
us robotics 56k win-modem
Mpact DVD decoder card
etc etc etc

If you are planning to overclock go with the ABIT. Also check out SOYO MOBO'S. SOYO.COM

Go with the MSI 6163 pro awsome board lots FSB settings got my PII350 to 420 going to try for more once i get 128MB pc133 and ny new Alpha .This board rocks .

The SOYO TEK SY-6BA-III is a good board for O/C and it is about $99.00 thru krex direct. I just got one this week. shipping isn't too bad. /forum/wink.gif

Best of luck with this project! I have the P-350 and the Abit bx6-2 myself. However, I found out too late that the 350 is the worst to try overclocking with. It's the processor, not the board. Mine doesn't even like turbo speed.
I can raise the fsb and yes, have the speed error control disabled, but I get all kinds of faults & errors, so I gave up. I hear most of the P-3 450's respond well.

Ygor ~ Did you raise the Vcore setting? It can be the key. 10% is conservative, 20% is OK with good cooling. Watch those temps.

If you're lucky, your BX6-2 monitors the internal CPU thermal diode. If not, you can add a capacitor and resistor and it will.

P2 350 @ 497 @ 2.2v Stable, 504 unstable buyt can fun for 5 minutes.
Made possible by a Soyo SY-6BA+III

- Ygor..I dont think any other processor can hit such a high FSB without lowering the Multiplyer. ..The PII 450 would be the absolute worst nightmare to clock, compared to the PII 350.
I was able to get my 350 to 433 stable at 1.9v
but once I hit 466, I needed 2.2 to stablize it
