ABIT BH6 Motherboard
Abit

This is my first go at a motherboard review, and the motherboard is of course the famous ABIT BH6. The BH6 has earned its reputation mainly because of one thing, the "Soft Menu II", and I must say that I think this reputation is well earned because the Soft Menu system truly rocks if you’re into overclocking. The Soft Menu is simply a "soft-jumper" system i.e. it lets you change settings that you normally change with jumpers or DIP-switches such as voltage and bus-speeds. This gives the BH6 the capability to overclock your system without even opening up your case!

The BH6 Soft Menu II system even lets you modify the voltage for the CPU core in 0.05 and 0.1 V steps. This has helped alot of people that getting their Celeron 300A or PII 300 (0.25 micron) systems up to 450 Mhz (and even higher!), making the combo of a BH6, a Celeron 300A and some PC100 a really kickass combo at a VERY low cost.

ABIT has always been known for making very good motherboards, in the past we have seen exelent examples of this in motherboards such as the IT5H (rev 2.0) and in the ABIT LX6 which was the first motherboard to feature a 100Mhz bus and the Soft Menu system. And as you probably could have guessed the BH6 is no exeption to this. Now, lets get more in depth and see what the BH6 really features.
