best board for the least money for a PIII 933 133 fsb

[tbalon]

I have a PIII 933 chip that I am dying to run but I don't have a board to run it on. I am a big ABIT fan but I don't want to spend big bucks. Can anyone recommend a good board at a resonable price?

Asus CUSL2.

www.compuplus.com has great prices. I've bought many things from them before. They have excellent shipping standards.

is that slot 1 or flipchip?

slot 1: Abit VT6X4 or Tyan s1854 Trinity 400

flipchip: Abit VH6-II or Tyan s1854 Trinity 400

all 3 of these boards support 133mhz FSB, and can be bought for under $100 shipped. (just do a search for them on pricewatch.com). The VH6-II has Abit soft menu III (1mhz bus speed increments) and ata-100. The VT6X4 hs softmenu II and ata-66. The Tyan board has both a slot 1 and a S370 interface on it (no on-board sound). Both abit boards are great overclockers & have good stability. The tyan board is not that good of an overclocker, but is tne most stable board I have ever seen (more stable than any BX board I ever had).

Thanks you guys....
I will take these suggestions to heart and try to make a decision.
It always helps to learn from someone elses experiences.

I concur with Birddog that the Tyan Trinity 1854s is the most stable board I've ever used. True it's not much of an overclocker...unless you add a Slotket in the Slot 1. If you're not after max performance, but want a nice mellow board that will swallow whatever you throw at it, I recommend the Tyan. If performance is what you're after, the Asus CUSL-2 will do very nicely.
