InactiveX - Hi - yes, point taken; am also using a couple of BIOS' w/ the HPT microcode removed - but did it myself. Firmware hacking has far too big a downside IMHO to entrust to someone you don't know. As it happens, I can't see what if any difference beyond boot-time it makes having or not having...

Shard - Hi - you need the RU BIOS for W2K/XP to install/work properly [USB won't work otherwise]. IMO safer to use an official Abit RU rather than some hacked thing - you don't need the PIII microcode. There's an Abit beta RU w/ HPT 128 here: ftp://ftp.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/pub/mirror/abit/beta/...

Derek - Hi - bought a couple of knackered old BP6' off Ebay for fun, having wanted one for many years - but having [sigh :)] to struggle on w/ dual PII's/PIII's/Athlons/Bartons & etc & etc . . . . this thing isn't strictly the 'main' system; but in fact is having to fill in while I await an Iwill DK...

wbxtune - why bother?
As we all know; the i440BX remains a remarkably efficient chipset - the attached image shows a BP6 at 100MHz FSB compared with various SMP PIII setups/chipsets, most at 133FSB. SSSandra 'scores' are of course only meaningful as comparisons using the same version: the version used here is: 2004.10.9....

Hi - assume you're running the ACPI multi kernel: I couldn't get the thing stable without disabling ACPI & using the MPS multi kernel. Am using 3x SCSI-hosts which may have something to do with it. Mind you . . . symptoms sound like the vid-accelerator from here . . . time to try another & see what ...

headseed - Hi - I believe Xbitlabs tested the Abit 'HotRod66' [HPT366/8] against the then-equivalent Promise controller a year or so back if you want to search out figures; as you have no doubt read above, I've only run a pair of old & mismatched HD's [mirrored] so don't exactly see the point of ben...

kuun - Hi - no feat at all: many folk have done this with onboard HPT366' [including, obviously, the author of the hacked BIOS]. I'm running at the 'usual' 5.5 x 100 dual - at default vcore. Serious air-cooling [kanie hedgehogs]; ample PSU. I suspect the drivers available for d/l here are not the sa...

bpsix - Hi - well; it [the Japanese RU BIOS with the Iwill SIDE-RAID66 BIOS & drivers linked to above] worked OK for me on a rev 1.0 BP6; but I wouldn't recommend it. The SIDE-RAID66 HPT368 BIOS is competent enough [made a mirror in about ten minutes]; but the drivers [under Win XP Pro SP1] are pret...
