Hardware-One has posted a review on the ABIT VP6 Dual FC-PGA motherboard.
In the recent past, ABIT´s BP6 enjoyed a stint of grand fame for being the world´s first dual Socket-370 motherboard with on-board ATA/66 support.

However, a downside of the BP6 was its inability to support dual Pentium III processors. It was a PPGA-only board while the Pentium III came on an FC-PGA format. Superficially, both the PPGA and FC-PGA format have 370-pins but really, the pin-outs and the voltage requirements (2.0V and 1.5V respectively) differ, therefore users were forced to wait until recently to run Pentium IIIs in SMP configurations.
