Paul, get the BX6-2 over the BH6. A good combo of features from both. I waited a week to get it (since I had to wait a couple of weeks because the BH6 was backordered) and I'm glad. All the soft jumperless config of abit, full control of IRQs to slots. I'm not real clear on busmastering slots. Manual sucks in that regard. PCI slot 1 shares an IRQ with AGP port which there's no way to change that I can find, so it's not perfect. Perhaps other boards from other manufacturers do better. But the pluses for the BX6-2 versus the BH6 are a no brainer to my mind. 5 pci 2 isa; 4 dimm slots; support for 256mb dimms; all the soft config for clock/voltage/etc of the BH6; all the temp monitoring; soft boot from all four EIDE disks (yep, every one, even the secondary IDE controller, and they really work I can verify). Mayge ASUS is better. I'm not a great mobo analyst. But as a choice, no decision. EDIE: BTW, the reservations folks have expressed here after coming to grips with BH6 shortcomings reinforce my reluctance to embrace Anand's reccos without salt grains.
