Do you mean Abit BP-6? If so, I run it with two Celeron 500's. Only problem I have ever had is I lost the ability to use suspend after configuring a SMP kernel. Everything else works. I have three IDE HD's, a CDROM and a floppy. It is a really great board. On another note, it will not allow me to install Win 98SE. It gets through the install and then Blue Screens on add new hardware. Although, maybe this is not a bad thing.
