Re: [LINUX-ABIT] It was Abit's experiment after all!

Greetings,

I have been tinkering with the Bp6 for months now and I have came to the
conclusion that it is far
from stable.  Things were OK when I ran my hard drives on IDE1 or 2, but if
I wanted ATA/66
support from the HPT66, things went south real quick.

With HPT/66 enabled under linux 2.2.14 kernel it locks up my sound blaster
live! on a regular occasion.  I am also left wondering how well SMP really
works under linus as well.  One other thing I did notice is that my wife's
windows machine (300a o/c to 464mhz on a 100mhz FSB w128mb pc-100) takes 8
hours 23 minutes on average to do a seti packet (and its done over 5000 hours
of them) I know it doesn't support SMP, that is not the issue, anyway my 500
at 66mhz with 384mb pc100 takes 10 hours 30 minutes to complete a packet.

Sooo.. I am officially dumping the Bp6 and getting a p3 750/100 on a bx
chipset.. (which will be faster than dual 500's) the Bp6 might do well under
windows, but for what I wanted to use it for it is not reliable. Abit really
fucked is all on this product.
