Hi, i have some questions on the motherboard. I read the review on the anandtechin http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1390&p=1

I like to buy one but i have some concerns with it and i hope you guys can help.

1. i use abit be-6 and slot 1 p3 w/ alpha heatsink + peltier. On the be-6, it eats up my 1st memory socket. Could you guys measure the distance between the slot1 and memory socket in sh6 and tell me? do you guys think i can fit my processor and heatsink in the sh-6?

2. I saw in the picture that the atx connector and in front of the slot1. Since alpha is a big heatsink and square. Do you guys think my alpha will hit the atx connector?

3. In anandtech review, it said that there are rooms for big heatsink but it didn't said what kind of heatsink. I saw in the review that it uses orb and since orb is only stand in front of the actual die of processor, UNLIKE alpha, which stands in front of ALL the slot1 surfaces. Do you guys think it will fit allright? I also saw in the picture that there is some transistor (green thing) in front of the slot 1, will my alpha hit it?

Please let me know. All answers are greatly appreciated. Thank You.

I tried this board out a month ago. I had no problem with my Alpha fitting , but did have a major problem with getting my GeForce2 and this board. Never could get the board to post with it installed. I have been seeing alot of people having problems with the SH6 and Nvidia AGP cards. You may want to check the message boards for comments on your vid card and SH6 compatibility before you buy it.
