Well experience is a strange word, but I do have 4 of those boards
dispersed. 2 fellow programmers at work are using them with O/Clocked
Celerons (as I am). The boards in general are great. Abit has good turn
around (in my experience) with the few problems Ive ever had with any of
their boards (I also own 2 SM5's and an ITH5 Abit board). The CPU Softmenu
is the coolest thing, and most manufacturers are emulating their ideas.
Ive run one the SM5 under Redhat 5.2 and BeOS.
- the BX6 under Redhat 5.2 as well.
No problems as of yet... So far no complaints about Abit. Please note I
have not used these as large servers under that kind of stress. I have
overclocked almost every piece of hardware I own on these boards without the
boards ever being the problem (except the one that came to me already in 2
pieces (ie broken) from an online company .... their RMA dept sent a joke
email --- "some assembly required..." ).
Thats my 2 pence.
