A friend of mine has build a dual 400 bp6 with no problems at all, even
the ATA66 controller works in the latest dev kerenls (can you confirm
Andre? I got the idea from the Changelogs).
The board is good and stable so long as you don't overclock the chips,
most of the problems with this board that are reported here are on oc'd
chips. Yes you can run 366's at 550 in some cases, I am just saying that
someone setting up a bp6 for the first time should be awhere of the
issues.
