BF6 Specifications

Before we discuss the features of the BF6 in-depth, lets look over the specs from Abit:

CPU
Supports Intel PentiumŪ III 450~700 MHz processor cartridge
Supports Intel PentiumŪ II 233~450 MHz processor cartridge
Supports Intel CeleronTM 266~533MHz processor cartridge

Chipset
IntelŪ440BX chipset (82443BX and 82371EB)
Supports Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface (ACPI)
Supports AGP 1X/2X (Sideband)3.3V device

Memory
Three 168-pin DIMM sockets
Supports up to 768MB MAX. (8, 16, 32, 64, 128,256MB SDRAM)
Supports ECC

BIOS
SOFT MENUTM III or DIP switches needed to set CPU parameters
Award Plug and Play BIOS version 6.0
Write-Protect Anti-Virus function by AWARD BIOS
Year 2000 Compliant

Multi I/O Functions
Two Channels of Bus Master IDE Ports supporting up to four Ultra DMA 33 devices
PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse connectors
1x Floppy Port (up to 2.88MB)
1x Parallel Port (EPP/ECP)
2x Serial Ports
2x USB Connectors

Miscellaneous
1 AGP slot, 6 PCI slots and 1 ISA slot
Hardware monitoring
Keyboard/Mouse/Password and Hot Key multifunction Power On
Built-in Wake on LAN/Wake on Ring header
One Thermal sensor Cable Included
PC99 Color connectors
Dimensions : 305*200mm

One of the notable features absent from the above specifications list is the plethora of front side bus speeds available. Standard speeds of 66, 75, and 83MHz are of course there, but the really amazing feature is the option to adjust bus speeds from 84MHz to 200MHz in 1MHz increments!!

That's right, if you're having problems getting your CPU to run at say, 124MHz, crank it down 1MHz to 123MHz, or bump it down a little further to 122MHz, the sky's the limit with the BF6! We'll get into this more once its time to discuss overclocking, but hardcore overclockers will love the variety of options available when it's time to overclock their CPU.
