I'm still running an Abit BH6 as well, so it's probably been 3 years??? I have a PIII600, but I'm planning on replacing it because of problems with the memory (not the sticks). I can only have 128 megs in the board, as adding another stick will cause random lock-ups. The sticks also have to be in slots #1 and #2. If I try any other combination of ram, I get random lock-ups. So I'm going to swap it out with an Abit BF6 which allows me to use 256 ram sticks intead of 128 only.

Mine is less then a year old (CUSL2), although I went through three in about three months before that!
BX6->P3V4X->CUSL2 My parents are still running a BH6 though.
<b>Executioner:</b>
I had the same problems with my parents BH6 where everytime I would put memory in the third socket, the system would either not boot or freeze randomly. However, I just put 2x256MB sticks in their board (mom does a lot of graphics intensive editing). I used the 1st and 2nd sockets again, but it works just fine with 512MB. You may want to try bigger sticks before you just give up on the board.

My main rig has an Abit KA7-100 that I've had for about a year now. Paid $150 way back when
Now it probably goes for about $70 maybe $80 since it does have the two ATA/100 controllers on it.

I purchased my Abit BX6 rev 2 in April of 99, but I figure the design is a little older than that.
