I'm looking for a dual processor board that I can do a little overclocking. I will be putting 2 P3 800e slot 1 cbo chips, Geforce2 GTS 64mb, SBlive X-Gamer, 256MB ram. I don't want to spend over 250 for one. I was looking at a board from Tyan that looks decent. I was wondering if you guys have any good recommendations. Any help would really be usefull.:confused:

kid: he said slot-1

rasput: unless you want to try a bx133 solution, Id stick with the Tyan you found. Just make sure its Rev. F

I was wondering if anyone knows if this motherboard lets you increase FSB in increments like other boards (112,115,120,etc). Other than that It seems pretty good. I found a review over at Tom's Hardware. But I just want to make sure that it can overclock like other boards.

The Tyan Tiger 133 is a very good, stable board.

However, it is *NOT* a tweakers/overclocking board.

Other than three FSB settings ( 66/100/133 ), you have virtually no tweaking ability. No modification of memory settings, voltages, etc.

If you want a current dual CPU Slot 1 tweaking MB.. I'ld look at at the BX133 solutions.

If you have not purchased your CPU's yet.. I'ld wait until the Abit VP6 comes out. It is a dual FCPGA MB, with two channels of normal ATA/100 and two channels of RAID/ATA-100.
