BIOSTAR TForce 6100 AM2 AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX RoHs compliant AMD Motherboard

Pros: For under $300, bought this board, 1.6 sempron, corsXXr value memory, and 7600gt card. Clocked the sempy to an even 2.0, memory right at 667. Gutted an older Dexx computer, put in cheap 400w psu that came with some other case. Friend is completely happy with the system. It scores 12.3K on 3Dmark03.

Cons: The only con with this board that I have seen is the bad reviews made by some that I believe don't understand what they are doing. Yeah, sometimes the board won't detect memory properly and have to manually set things in bios, but that's really a pro, because this board has the options to adjust any aspect of the memory's settings. I have also seen problems where low quality memory was installed, but same memory caused problems in another machine. Have seen where sound has been a problem, but it was software oriented, and easily fixed.

Overall Review: A++ for biostar, you can build a wicked gamer for very little money with this little board. And you can raid a pair of SATA drives for super fast hard drive access. Four SATA inputs would be even better, for a four drive raid.

Pros: Has decent onboard video, full 8 channel sound,excellent overclocker for both masters and incomer, 2x PATA,very cool literally and figurativly and a built in memtest.

Cons: Only 2 PCI slots is a slight let down but with more and more products moving to PCI-E its not that big of a deal breaker. Having only 2 sata ports is however. Thankfully they are both 3GBS. My only other complaint is that the floppy port is at the very bottom of the board which can be inconvient. Also depending on the location of your PSU the 4pin can be annoying too.

Overall Review: An excellent board whether for a cheap computer,media center,gaming,or overclocking this is an excellent value. Im truly impressed.

Pros: well it didnt exactly esplode... but i bought 3 of these boards, 2 for AMD athlon 2200+(the 2.2ghz orleans ones) and one for a athlon 64 X2 4200+. well on one of the boards the SATA slot was knocked right off, wasnt even attached onto the board, RMA it went. that was the 4200+ board, one of the 2200+ boards decided not to load the bios. fans turned on everything powered but the LEDs on the board and the speaker didnt even buzz when the mem was takin out, RMA it went too. the one left is still workin great, even usin scsi on it and its havin no prob. now biostar is a good company, i still got 20 working m7vig 400s, but where are all these defects coming from.

Cons: my defects listed above, 2 died one didnt

Overall Review: i would still buy from biostar, there boards last for long amounts of time and are dirt cheap and give good performance, enough said.

Pros: Board is designed nicely, everything labeled well. Installed with AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ & Wintec AMPX DDR2 800 1 gig kit, fired up with no problems from the very beginning. Runs XP Pro with no hesitation. I don't plan to do any overclocking it runs fine at stock for the work I do on it. I like the diagnostic LED's and the on board pwr/reset switches.

Cons: Could use a couple extra PCI slots. I have only one left after installing my firewire card. I don't plan to add anything more at this time so not such a big deal.

Overall Review: I think this is a great buy for a low budget system. It's stable, drivers loaded flawlessly, & easy to install.

Pros: Solid little board, everything worked, lots, and lots of bios options allow you fine tune hardware for super fast, stable running machines. The 6100 graphics are decent for onboard, can play WoW at bare minimum video fairly smoothly the newer boards use 7 series graphics.

Cons: Built 2 machines w this board. First was w/1.6 sempy....it overclocked fine to 2.0 w/value memory. Other machine has a 2.6X2 on it, northbridge gets very, very hot with fast chip onboard. I installed a fan onto northbridge to cool it down. Now board is decently overclockable, still I think that it's about all the 410chipset can do to run the newer fast processors. Didn't get hot at all running the 1.6 sempy overclocked to 2.0. Got very hot running the 2.6X2 at stock speed. With tons of cooling, it still doesn't overclock the fast chip very well.

Overall Review: I've been using the T-force boards to build inexpensive gaming machines since their socket 754 board. Have been impressed with all of them. I think the chipset is reaching it's limit in performance, might try the newer 430 chipset version if you plan to use cpu over 2.6Ghz, it might not have such a heat issue on the northbridge.

Pros: This is a great board for being micro atx. Fits easily into my case. The BIOS is extremely easy, and the overclock features are tremendous. Bought this with a 4600 dual core and everything runs great.

Cons: Not sli....but that's my fault for being cheap.

Overall Review: Biostart TForce 6100, AMD 4600 x2, 2 gigs ADATA ddr 2 800, Geforce 7300 gt.

Pros: Great Overclocking options, looks nice, maintains temps at reasonable numbers. OC software is very nice, and ca be a very good Mobo for gaming. Highly recommended board worth the money because I needed 2 IDE slots 1 for DVD-Burner and other for my old ATA HDD

Cons: not many ....jus needs a BIOS update because the Temps are not reading correctly but thats what everyone does with their new Mobos regardless.

Overall Review: Paired with sempron 3000 and was able to OC to 2.1 with no probs with the temps increasing from 35 to 37 C.

Pros: Very nice features for a micro board. Very robust bios for over clocking my x2 3800. On board graphics very nice, waiting for my pci-e card. This board is fast.

Cons: None at this time. Works perfectly.

Overall Review: I debated between this board or a DFI but I am so glad I picked this board. This paired with a AMD dual core 3800 and 1 GB of Corsair DDR2 Twin 2X Matched memory, this thing is fast..
