 |
|
Does any forummember own an Abit SH6?
Is this the holy grale of Slot1? Would it be "the thing" to own to do a comprehensive Slot1 (and S370) comparison?
Does it support Klamath processors or only Mendocino and up? (manual states Pentium II based on 100 MHz FSB but 66 MHz is supported for Celerons).
Anybody knows anything? It would be SO awesome to play with something supporting from 266 MHz Covington up to 1133 Coppermines (or maybe even Tualatin with a slotket)  |

SH6 is very rare.
I've been looking for one for almost 10 years.
I still use my BE6-II |

Yeah, I see that it's not an everyday thing.
How does the BE6-II do 133 MHz FSB? I don't see it can be done without overclocking the AGP? |

| Eh....I can benchmark 2D and 3D at 160ish. |

I have one.
Clock to clock performance is close to 440BX.
It did ~180 fsb superpi stable without any mods while BX usually maxes around 160-165.
Another nice feature of 815 chipset - you can run memory asynchronously,
e.g. 66 bus CPU with 100 MHz memory!
On stock you can't run Klamath on it as the maximum cpu voltage afaik is 1.9V.
But you can mod it

Aren't many BX boards do exactly this thing?
Except non-stangard AGP frequency in case of 133 bus of course, but that's not a huge problem. |

Sure, most BX's will do that - but I think it would be awesom to have a totally fixed setup to do the benchmark i.e. not overclocking AGP for 133 FSB parts etc. 
Cool, that you own one - that at least proves they do actually exist  |

There is alternative: good boards on VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset, e.g. Asus P3V4X.
Relatively easy to find, compatible with all slot 1 except Klamath (again, modding will help),
stock AGP frequency for 133 fsb, supports 4 GB of memory (well only with ECC, 2 GB with non-ECC,
but still much better than pathetic 512 MB for 815), can run it asynchronously too, AGP 4x, Ultra ATA 66.
Great board, a bit slower that 440BX/815 but you'll not notice if if you are not into competitive benchmarking |

Well, you're probably right - there's just this thing - that in the slot1/s370 era, I bought Intel processors - mainly because of having... Intel chipsets |

| Funny, by the way, that it doesn't (officially) support Klamath's (according to manual, it takes Coppermine, Katmai and Mendocino. However - manual as well as ASUS' website mentions PII-233 as compatible, which as far as I know, has never been made in anything else but Klamath? |
