Dual P3 Motherboard

[Gein]

Greetings from Portugal!

I'm going to buy a dual mobo and I'm having trouble in choosing.

Untill now I've only found a couple that match my requirements (dual Socket 370, AGP 4x, ATA-66, SD-RAM).
These are AOpen DX34 (and the Plus one) and Abit VP6.

Does anyone know any others? Are these any good?
I would trully apreciate any help or comment!

Thanks!

Gein

P.S.: sorry for the bad english

I'm using MSI 694D Pro. 4x AGP, ATA66, SDRAM & FCPGA270 for version 1. Newer version of the board has RAID & ATA100.

Thanks man!

However...i didn't find RAID on that board, anyway, THANKS!

Does anyone knows any others? or could give me your thoughts on these ones?

Thanks!

The VP6 is too new and therefore full of bugs. You should go with the MSI...I am.

Thanks man.

I did find a version of that board that meets all my requirements, the Pro-D AIR (I think...)
Is it for sale now anyway?
At least where you leave! (Portugal is always a different place 🙂 )

Anyway, MSI is kind of a underground brand over here.
Does it have a good reputation? or not?

Plus, I've heard the RAID controller (the standart VIA one) had some problems (that's why Abit used a different one).
And what kind of RAID does it have? 0, 1, 0+1??

I'm sorry for asking so many questions, but MSI site says nothing!

To english language people: sorry about the language....

Bem....vindo, então de onde és??

Bem tenho que te dizer que as MSI estam a ser bem vendidas aqui no algarve, e até é relativamente
facil encontra-las....o problema é com as boards dual essas são dificeis de encontrar em Portugal
seja qual seja a marca.....

Back to english, you can also take a look at the tyan and abit boards...don't recall the models
but you can look around...

Thank you all!
