Abit AB-PS6
As many other ABit motherboards too, the PS6 features Soft Menu to select the CPU clock in the system BIOS. Furthermore ABit successfully supports 75 MHz bus speed for the Pentium Pro, what allows you to overclock the CPU to 225 MHz (75 MHz x 3). The board needs a VRM module for supplying the CPU with the correct voltage. There is nothing to complain, except the positioning of the IDE connectors: They are in front of the three upper PCI slots, so you may get into trouble in case you have more than one full size PCI card (like frame grabbers). Anyway, this board is not explicitly meant for server systems; with just two memory banks (4 SIMMs) it's difficult (or very expensive) to exceed 256 MB of memory without obtaining 128 MB memory modules, what certainly won't be too cheap...
