I've fixed two BP6s (V1.0 and V1.1) using the EC10 cap upgrade method. 
More detail is available on several of the Abit-centric overclocker
sites.

Between the two PGA sockets at board edge is a 100uF cap labeled
'EC10'.  Note its 6 EC neighbors are all 1500uF, 6.3v.  The recommended
fix was to remove the 100 and solder in a 1500, 6.3v.  I used a 1000uF,
16v in parallel, same polarity.  100% reliable.  Symptoms were solid,
traceless lockups on large (>20MB) disk to disk copies, particularly
between the intel and highpoint chipsets.

Persistent superblock.  I've mistakenly reversed RAID0 members during a
hardware migration and watched it magically detect and correct on
reboot.
