ABIT LX6...........the other side of the coin

The ABIT LX6 motherboard has received great reviews. I found some feedback on the system optimization site with reference to the board which shows it in a different light.

I have read good reviews on this board as far as speed etc. but I went to order one and the salesman told me on the hush that this board is junk. He said that the RMA rate is over 40% but if you were lucky enough to get an OK one that they do run fine. Anyone have any problems with this board or any info would be appreciated. I have had it with the PA-2007.

Yup. Everyone I talk to says they have had problems. Mine would not even post. I returned it and got an AOpen PII board. The bus speed can only go up to 83MHz but you can set the multiplier all the way up to 8. Same jumperless style as the LX6.
Repo.

Well... yeah. It seems they sent the really good LX6 boards to Tom and the other reviewers. =) Seriously, I've only seen one not work great out of the box (dead board), and 1 out of 7 ain't too bad. But, I have heard stories... but I don't know about the validity of these statements.

The ASUS P2L97 is probably the most reliable PII board I've seen... and the newset revision is fast and stable.
