Check out Abit's SH6. It is based on the 815 chipset and has all of the lastest features and Soft Menu III for easy overclocking. The only thing is the 815 chipset does not support the use of more than 2 banks of memory runnning at PC133. Other than that it is a really nice board

I am in the middle of a deal gone bad and the trader has offered me an Abit board like yours that needs a new BIOS chip because he messed the one he has up. Is your bios chip okay and if so, how much would you have to have for it? Thanks, Bekker

If you want to stay BX, you might consider an MSI BXMaster. Might be able to pick one up at a reasonable price. Stable, OC's well, has the Promise ATA66 controller onboard. Maybe you've been running your PIII @ 933+ and you know your components will do it. If they'll do it on a BH6, they'll certainly do it on a BXMaster, and if they won't do it stably on a BH6, there's a real good chance they will on the BXM.

Two good BX MB's are the Soyo SY-6BA+IV and the +100. Both are great and stable overclockers. I'm on my +100 right now running a PIII-550 Slot1 at 760MHz.
