I have two matched PIII550s (550/512/100) and am looking for a very stable motherboard to use them in. It should include:
SDRAM
AGP
4 or more PCI
ATX
U2W scsi nice but not necessary
ATA 100 nice but not necessary

I run win2000. Any suggestions?

I currently use an Gateway ALR 7200 m/b and it sux. Frequent lockups, shutdowns, whatnot.

Thanks for lookin

Hey Andy,

I've a similar situation. I've 2- 800EB's (Slot1) and want to find a mobo in basically the same range as turunturun. Can't seem to find anything dualie that runs a 133 bus, so i'm thinking that I might just make a single proc. machine instead.

Any recommendations on this?

i had the same problem, i wanted to run dual P3 with etremely fast FSB but couldn't find a mb so i went with an i820
not as fast as a 440bx but they can be had for cheap(60$ for my asus pc3-d) and they can run very high fsb for overclocking i'm currently running 667@765 with 153fsb stable Rdram is at 459x2, i could try for more i suppose
u can pickup 256meg rdram for like 85$ shipped for the good stuff

The P3C-D is fine, although ASUS doesn't really have very good support for the i820 line of boards. That is a top board though.

Another suggestion is an i840 based motherboard.
