hydrosgenes's Full Review: Abit BE6 Motherboard
This was my first board for a home-built system. It has worked fantastically well for the past year. I must warn everyone about one issue, though. "bnlitin" wrote a review and said that this board has a problem with PCI cards sharing IRQs. Well, after installing a PCI ethernet adapter, not only did my system take an extra minute to load everything at startup, but my DVD drive wouldn't work. The drive would play for a few seconds, then it would freeze and the whole system would restart. The solution: when I disabled my ethernet card (Control Panel->System->Device Manager, choose the card, properties, disable), the DVD player worked without any problems, AND the system started up faster. I have to say, this board has given me no other problems, but this issue should be known. A big thanks to bnlitin! Figuring this out saved me a BIG a headache!!!
