Celeron II on a A-Open AX6B?

[Fozzie]

Anyone have any experience with this combo? I can get one of these MB's cheap for a replacement MB to tide over to DDR boards. I'm going to use a MSI 6905 Master slotket so I have the voltage adjustment.

Thanks,

The AX6BC Pro and Pro Gold are very stable boards that should overclock well. They have the typical advantages and disadvantages of a BX board.

I am currently running a c2 533@896 (112mz) on an aopen ax6bc and am quite happy with it. I use an asus slotkit to run it and right now have it jumpered on the slotkit to 1.65v. Good value. I also run the latest bios and cool it with a gorb.

I like aopen and also run an ax63pro with a p3 overclocked.

I have tried a similar setup to Blackhawk's w/ my C2 533a on the Aopen ax6bc. I like the board, a very high quality unit. Run the floppy ribbon cable under the M/B for esthetics and better case cooling.

I have an AX6B running a cel 366/oc/576 on one of my machines. with the MSI slotket

Paolo had an excellent tip about running the floppy cable UNDER the mb when you install. I did this on both my aopen's and it looks neat, works well and lasts a long time. I have an aopen ax63pro as well which has the udma support built in as well as voltage adjustment.
I'm in canada and have seen the ax6bc at clearance places for 80cdn (54usd)

I assume the ax6b is just a larger board?

Just wanted to say thanks for your help guys. This makes my decision between a Duron or Celeron all the harder.
