Abit VP6

I was thinking of upgrading my mobo/cpu... I'm currently running a P3-450 that won't OC on a P3B-F... I'm looking to a Abit VP6 mobo with dual P3-700E OC'd to 933... I am dreaming sweet dreams here, or is it feasible??? Anybody got experience with that board???
 
The VP6, in my opinion, is easily the best dual PIII board out there (for sensible money...)! I've had 2 MSI 694D Pros (Raid and non-raid) and neither were problem free (their BIOS problems are well known, but were supposed to be sorted out....not so! I got the raid board just 6 weeks ago, but have now swapped to a VP6) and the VP6 is just miles better. Stability is 100% and my PIII 750Es overclock to 997 without problems (no higher though). The Highpoint controller has a bad name (somewhat deservedly - I had no end of problems with the HTP366 on my old BP6), but my experience with the HPT370 is also entirely trouble free. I'd say it's better than the Promise controller in fact and it certainly gives me better throughput benchmarks (Winbench99 Max/Min transfer: 77+MBps/35+MBps with a 4x45GB Raid 0+1 array). So, ehh, in short - GO GET IT!!!

I'm having problems getting the VP6 to even recognize at the boot. I see no video at the boot up. Any tips?
