BIOSTAR TForce6100 754 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: I've used around 15-18 boards on the 754 platform,(computer tech)and this beats all of them hands-down. Don't worry about getting a CPU with a locked mult. because this board will take you to an HTT over 400! My Sempron64 2800+ runs 24/7 at 2.80GHz on this board w/o any problems. Here are some of the things that this board has... MemTest-built into bios.Nice for checking memory for errors. WatchDog-To boot at default if OC is too high BiosSavior-Save up to 50 of your favorite bios's. 15 different memory settings in bios,for the tweakers. 3.3VDimm,1.8Vcore Reset,and Power Button onboard. Diagonostic LED's onboard for diagonosing problems. Nice software supplied by BioStar.(Its the little things:) For those who care,the onboard video (6100) will warrant you scores of ~7,500 in 3DMark01,depending on your cpu speed,ram,etc.

Cons: With 1.8V.core set in bios,it actually only feeds the CPU 1.76V. No software to adjust the Chipset voltage,though not a big deal when not benchmarking.

Overall Review: What else can I say,for the money your paying here,this is by far the best board you can buy on this platform. I've used the best boards from DFi,Asus,etc. and none rival the performance of this TForce 6100. Good Job BioStar!! Keep this up and you have a fan for life. ;)

Pros: Easy to install and setup - good overall abilities.

Cons: Died within two months. NewEgg replaced/ RMA but only returned mobo with NO manuals/ cables/other stuff I returned in the RMA and that irked me. Means someone opened the RMA, took everything out, and neglected to put *anything* back in the box except the repaired mobo. Unacceptable.

Overall Review: Device seemed to be a good bargain at the timewith good capabilites. In five years of puttingmachines together, though, this is the first time one has died on me.Documentation and Bisotar website unable to explain/ diagnose my mobo issue. Had to figure it out on my own.

Pros: Stable, fast, onboard video thats good enough for a HTPC entry level to mid system. Runs fast and can OC very high. Paired this with a Sempron 64 2800+ that OC to 2000 vs stock 1600. This mobo is the best geforce 6100 series mobo on the market today, its been reviewed and loved by so many people and it also has been stable and almost issue free since its launch from Biostar.

Cons: NONE

Overall Review: Has the most overclocking features I have ever seen on a 754 board at this entry point in performance. Very stable board, great BIOS setup and lots of extras.

Pros: this is a second review from me.i have used this board many times and will use it as long as im able to for the simple needs of customers.Out performs most customers needs on a entry level or even higher.even as a gamer with a good vid card would do as good as the big boys.but onboard is great and i wouldnt be afraid to use it on most games at a med hight type setting

Cons: the only con i can come up with is when using raid.raid was not as simple as i thought it should be as this board is a snap to build.so i was not happy with the manual or the cd for raid drivers.using a sata2 or 1 hd is ok it sees it fine but when running raid in my case for 2 customers it was a bit of a search.

Overall Review: now once i went to bios and enabled raid and raid on both drives.because enabling raid does not enable the drives so do all three things once thats done restart and it ask you to configure by pressing f12 do that and follow the insructions. then go to the biostar website and download drivers and put on floppy use the f6 key in windows as asked and select both that it offers windows says you need both.thats all there is to it.the cd does say it has the drivers on it but i couldnt find them besides never risk outdated drivers for raid.do that and your going good.now i know the next few times will go easy now that i know.this review is only a fyi i already rated the board a month back.

Pros: I have purchased 2 of these. Love the overclocking feature. Machine runs silent (not many fans needed), even at highest overclock setting (was able to overclock my 1.6Mhz Sempron 2800+ to 2.0Ghz w/ standard cooling). Great options, small form factor. Will definately buy again.

Cons: I was hoping the GeForce 6100 was better than my GeForce3Ti. Alas, it was actually slightly worse (mainly due to the fact that the memory is shared). Benchmarks: [3DMark2003] GeForce 6100 (o/c'ed to 2.0Ghz): 989 GeForce3Ti: 1060

Overall Review: Even though video is not as good it does have a PCIe port so I could slap in a 100 dollar card and boost my game-playing ability... if I did more gaming

Pros: Excellent packaging and it was delivered quite fast. I like how it has an overclock guide and software bundled with it, too. The onboard video is OK, but nothing to really be amazed about; you can play WoW on it with no problems. Great board for the budget gamer (like me!)

Cons: none at all.

Pros: Great overclocking mobo for its cost... especially if you are new to overclocking (it has automatic settings u can use to overclock the system 10-30% depending on how much u want it to do it) there is also a manual OC but i wouldnt recommend it unless u have read up on ur overclocking materials (it does come wiht an overclock guide)

Cons: none really.... (i dont know abou the onboard chips i always go offboard sound/video)

Overall Review: i think this motherboard is great and nice for a starting gamer or a gamer on a budget i paired this with a HIS radeon x700 pci expressx16 that ran about 120ish give or take 10 or so dollars.... and its great especially the size.. its an awesome microATX the only downside is if u use a floppy... the IDE connector is below the PCI slots :|

Pros: Worked great as a replacement for my fathers socket 478 mb/cpu that went bad. Installed with a 3.0 ghz Sempron and working very well. Cheap upgrade/replacement. Worked with DDR400 memory. On board video is fine for general use.

Cons: None. I would buy again.

Overall Review: If you wanting to OC or anything other that general computing, you shouldn't be looking at $60.00 mother boards! This is a basic no-frills board that does what its supposed to!
