Technologies

Introduction |

Intel launched their latest Slot 1 main board chipset on April 15th 1998- the 440BX capable of a 100MHz system bus speed, along with the new PII 350 and PII 400 capable of 100MHz operations. The 440BX was one of the most successful product introductions in Intel's history. Just after its release, there were more than a dozen manufacturers putting their own BX products onto the market the same month. The first BX versions hit the market from every angle and after the word started to spread, these boards were the hottest thing on the market, being grabbed by hungry users. But among the main board manufacturers, Abit, AOpen and Asus were the large vendors offering the hottest new products like Abit’s BX6, AOpen’s AX6B and the Asus P2B. Among the frenzied competition, these boards stood out from the seething crowd like shining stars. But the real hero was the Abit BX6 because of its price, performance and overclocking ability.
Soon every overclocker’s dreams began to come true when they got their hands on a BX6. Users with large budgets coupled the boards with PII 350 or PII 400 while users with limited budgets used Celerons and overclocked them. Because of its stability and reliability along with the Soft Menu feature, the Abit BX6 proved to be a very special product.
Now Abit has gone one step further by perfecting
the BX6 design, to develop the simply perfect BX motherboard: the BH6.
Offering incredible features and simplicity, the Abit BH6 is one of the
greatest main boards ever created.
