AOpen AX63 Pro Apollo Pro 133 Slot-1 ATX
This item doesn't belong on this page. Windows 98 2nd Edition. The quality of the AOpen User's Guide isn't as high as it could be in comparison to ABIT's "super manual" but it's definitely an improvement over some of the other creations it seems that manufacturers just throw together at the last minute.
The board is tight fitting to the ATX specification mothernoard than the placement of the floppy drive at the top of the board.
AOpen allows the user to manually select the FSB setting regardless of the type of processor installed in the motherboatd, using a 6-pin jumper block that is adjacent to the last DIMM slot.

Read on to see if AOpen continues the trend of solid, well constructed, non-Intel motherboards with the introduction of the AX63Pro. Note that the hard drive used in the benchmarks was only a UDMA33 hard disk. To complete the package, AOpen includes their standard software bundle, which includes all ax663 the latest driver files as well as a complementary copy of Norton AntiVirus for Windows Post Your Comment Please log in or sign up to comment.
Any Condition Any Condition. Eventually, to encourage manufacturers to explore the possibilities the other slot-1 chipset held, VIA released an updated version of the Apollo Pro that was pin-compatible with the Intel BX, and called this solution the Apollo Pro Plus. When I started the Winbench and Winstone programs, there was a long pause, a pause I've never encountered.
The results using a new Apollo PC chipset board is like downgrading your other system components! Log in Don't have an account?

Although overclocking has never been a supported practice from a manufacturer's perspective, AOpen dedicated an entire page to overclocking and their recommended settings in the comprehensive User's Guide that was packaged with the AX So long the power is connected to your motherboard, it will sustain the information. The ease of integration the Apollo Pro Plus chipset provides manufacturers with allows them to produce designs similar to their Intel counterparts in a relatively easy fashion.
The board, by default, ships with the FSB selection set to auto, so if you're planning on overclocking you'll want to take a look at the jumper configuration. So you can be confident that every model passes through AOpen world-renowned testing lab before it goes into production at one of the company's ISO certified facilities.
Here's another snip from the PDF manual for a clearer picture of how this feature works: Although the jumperless setup isn't as polished as that of the ABIT BH6, it accomplishes the same general goal, making the setup of the board easier than ever. Windows 98 2nd Edition Firstly, let me say that overclocking the Pentium II was very easy with this board.
Since my test system is different from that of Vijay's the results I'm about to present here are a little different in terms of the benchmarked scores, but you should be able to make a pretty good comparison. The correct way to go about implementing this feature is clearly described in PDF-format manual.
You can resume your original work directly from hard disk without go through the Win95 booting process and run your application again. A bigger complain other than the 3rd fan-connector would be the lack of a proper manual in booklet form!
On every test or benchmark, the results point out-right towards the BX chipset. Though this board works well, performance is slacking and minor pauses may occur time to time. Instead of the standard green heatsink, there is a gold colored one unique to to AOpen's pro line, which is mounted with thermal tape onto the chipset.
The following is a tiny part I took out from the PDF manual for reference: Now some of you might ask what Acer has got to do with an AOpen motherboard. Overall Rating Out of a maximum of 5 Star. However, when I tried to use the same settings on the MS Pro, the system showed some instability, especially when running the Winstone benchmarks.
In addition, the strange behaviour of these drivers seems to give varying disk benchmark results as you can see from the inconsistencies tabulated above. I'm not sure if the heatsink is really gold-plated or just gold-coloured. Unfortunately there has been a lack of quality Apollo Pro Plus solutions on the market, making the solution even more handicapped in addition to its lack of a large presence in the industry.
