Best Socket 370 mobo?

[Chupa]

Hi,
I ordered a P3-750, and used an Abit Slotket 3 with it. The 750 somehow got fried (I didn't feed it too much voltage), and I am RMA'ing it with Intel. The rep said that if it happened again with my current slot mobo, they won't replace it because they do not support the converter cards. Soooo, to be safe I'm gonnaget a new mobo. I'm kinda leaning toward the CUSL2-C, but I thought I would check out the informed opinion of the forum and see what other people thought. Let me know what some of the REALLY good mobo's are. I'm tired of having a second-rate one and want to get a really good one.

Thanks,
-Chupa

As far as socket 370 mobos with the Intel 815 chipset, people like the CUSL2 and MSI 815E Pro (MSI-6337) which can be had for cheaper. I have the MSI myself.

The Asus CUV4X (Via 133A chipset) is also a good bet. The Asus CUBX (BX chipset) ain't bad either.

I would keep your MOBO and get a Asus or MSI sloket and throw that Abit in the trash. I had and have seen on this forum alot of problems with the Abit SlocketIII.

My PIII and Cel are both running a Asus Adapter.

All so if you are not o/c it, a Tyan Trinity 400 is a good board, and has a Slot1 and socket 370.

Other wise the CUSL2 is a great board too!

Well, I plan to o/c it to the fullest extent of my gorb, and the CUSL2 has a lot more o/c'ing options than my current mobo, plus (small plus) it has an ATA100 controller, so I can finally use my IBM 75GXP to its fullest extent.

Abit SA6R is my current Mobo and it runs like a dream!!! nothing but good here, no glitches or hangs at all, stable as a rock and clocks very well, you can see my specs on my sig...

If you are a bargain hunter, I highly recommend the MSI-6309. I have two of them and they are rock solid. The Via 133A chipset is supposed to have some memory limitations (5% slower than a BX board, or something) but I have not noticed any problems. It offers a lot of overclocking options in the BIOS, and has very stable for me. I think mwave.com has them for around $85 plus shipping. Multiwave has also been rock solid as a vendor for me, too.
Good Luck,

I'm currently using a Via 133 board, and I think I'd prefer to use an Intel chipset this time.
