I use the Abit BH6 motherbaord and it makes for a great overclocker,
since you can play with voltages. I did get a weird situation where my
CDROM is not recognised by linux, unless I boot using loadlin from my
Windows 95 partition or I set the CDROM to be a boot device before the
hard disk in the the BIOS. I don't know if that was the CDROM, which
previuosly had hd no problems, or the motherboard or a combination. It
works once it attempts to boot from it, so I'm happy.
