Abit Bh6 & Abit Bx6-2 Big Difference???

[xtremsabu]

Yes i was wondering about these mobos. Is there really a big difference because i was planning to get the bh6 one since i hear it is good for overclocking. Also how high can each mobo go because i want a mobo that i can still use. Also what celeron chip is easier to overclock? I want to make it to at least 500 mhz i was planning on a 400 or 433. Please tell me you opinions.

I love this forum because you get help from actucally user of products that people actucally have you know what i mean we are not all friggin rich. I hate when computer websites test games on a friggin new new comp and tell us this thing is fast well what about telling us what its like for people that don't get stuff for free.

Hi; I'm shopping for mobos too; and having a tough time about it as well...everytime I think I want a certain board, I'll do research and then find out there's something about it that I don't like...

I've gone from wanting a Abit BM-6 w/C466, to wanting the BE6v2 w/P3500, to Asus K7M w/Athlon 500, and then now I'm back on my BM-6 kick...

I can afford this stuff; still, I don't like to waste money either; do I save money now and go with a Celeron466, but have an outdated system in 6 months, or do I go Athlon, pay twice as much, but have to deal with new technology that hasn't matured very long...decisions, decisions...

Read some mobo reviews; you can't read them all; that would be a full time job in itself. A couple of my fav sites for reviews:

Good luck...

The BH6 is the basic no frills clockable motherboard. The BX6R2 is WAY better (I have owned a BH6 and my friend owns a BX6R2). because its chock full of features not found on the BH6.
If you want an ABit Board, check out the BF6 as well.
Its a new board, and supercedes either of the other 2 (and doesnt cost much more)
Its much much more clockable than those 2
