As usual was AOpen one of the first motherboard manufacturers to finish a board with a new chipset. The AX6L is unfortunately not able to continue being one of the fastest Pentium II boards as initiated with the AX6F. The AX6L is an average performer with no special highlights or downsides. As the TX boards from AOpen it offers nice features like 'Suspend to Disk', 'Modem Ring On' and LDCM, but it is a little bit particular about the BIOS revision of an Adaptec 2940. It has to be the latest (1.25) revision of the BIOS if you want to use it in the AX6L. Since it's no real big deal to implement it and one company, who read my bus speed project religiously, is making big bucks with this feature so far, AOpen is jumping on the 75/83 Mega Hz Pentium II Bus Speed Trend Train and offers these two bus speeds in addition to 66 and 68.5 MHz. I personally don't believe in this feature in terms of performance compared to instability issues, but if you want to overclock your Pentium II up to 337 MHz, this is the easiest way to achieve it. My Pentium II 266 runs just fine at 337 MHz in this board and here you can take advantage of AGP as well. The bus speed as well as the multiplier for the CPU clock can be adjusted from the BIOS, hence there's a SoftMenu like feature from AOpen now . The AX6L comes with 4 DIMM slots, no SIMM slots, one AGP, 4 PCI and 3 ISA slots. The board is in ATX form factor.
