Every once and a while, companies such as Intel and AMD tend to give overclockers surprise gifts. Take the Intel Pentium III 550E for example.

Conclusions



As far as real world Windows performance goes the BE6-II wins again by 2.2 points higher than the VA6. Question is, are you going to notice this difference? Maybe, maybe not. Personally I didn't notice much of a difference in Windows. As far as gaming performance goes keep in mind that if you are using a Voodoo 3 board or a TNT 2 board you will not notice any kind of difference. These boards seem to be maxing out around the 550-600 MHz mark. The only way you are going to see a difference is if you are utilizing a GeForce video card. And then we are talking maybe about 15-20 fps between the two chipsets. But, if you are getting 120 fps already, are the extra 20 fps going to make a difference in your game play? That's definitely up to each individual.

Conclusion

The ABIT VA6 has certainly proven to be a excellent overclockers board. It proved to be rock solid in any bus speed, it has great overclocking features, and most importantly an excellent price. At an estimated street price of $89.00 it's certainly a bargain. Let's not forget the always great quality and documentation that we always expect from ABIT. All things considered this is definitely a board worthy of your consideration. It's true that its performance is not as high as the 440BX boards out there, but I think its features more than make up for it.
