As far as I know there are no mobos for the Tbird available yet using the VIA KT133 chipset, which I believe is the best chipset for this platform. You might be able to get a Slot 1 Tbird and put it in a KX133 mobo - but don't blame me if you have problems.

See the 7/4/00 news item about supposedly TB compatible KX133 boards at:
http://www.vr-zone.com/
and see:

At least 3 KT133 mobo are available atm :
FIC AZ11, GA-7ZM, and Epox EP-8KTA.

According to this retailer http://www.buyoverclocked.com/
(Canadian btw), the following boards should come next week :
Asus A7V and MSI K7T Pro.

I am also looking for the MSI Socket A mobo...

 

[MattStone]

It looks like the MSI one isn't going to be out for a while, and is going to be quite a bit more money. I'm talking about the master..not the pro. I might go for the AZ-11 or something as a temporary board for a while...Tripleshot do you sell others.
