Anyone running a SOYO SY-6VCA?

Interested in this motherboard- curious as to stability, and overclocking results.

why do you want a soyo6vca when the rig you have with the asus p3v4x can overclock a 700 to 1008? I have a soyo7vca, samething as a 6vca except it's fcpga, & i can only get my 700e cB0 to 882, but it might be my cheap kingmax pc133 holding me back on the overclocking, either way, I'm not going to spend a cent more on the current hardware, I am willing to wait for the DDR motherboards to come out since they are so close to release now.

I had heard that the Soyo's were real stable. My Asus is a prety quirky board, and has been driving me slowly insane. Lately, I have been having the USB bus going down at random, and I am tired of rebooting. I too am looking forward to the DDR boards as well: only problem for me is that there will probably not be any slot-1 boards in that format, and I spent alot of time finding this particular chip I am currently running. Guess it'll be moot when we are all running 1.5 gig chips in a couple of weeks

I have the 6VCA mobo with a PIII700@931, 133fsb, soyo sloket, used the voltage adjustment on the board set to overvolt 5% =1.73v RAM only pc100 so set to -33 in bios
Runs stable with everything I use, mostly office stuff, I am not a heavy gamer, just some SoF and UT, with vodoo3,1000
I do not get high memory benchmarks in sandra =200 hope to do some tweeking...
Ran it also with a cII533a@800 but could not get it to run stable even at 10% overvolt, some I got the PIII and put the CII into my wifes computer(p2b-f) where it runs just fine at 1.65v on MSI sloket
Overall, I like the 6VCA
