Intel platform help!!!!

[Remedy]

Ok I only do amd so i don't know the intel platform. I know someone who is trying to buy a p3 866 slot 1 cpu (don't ask me why) and he wants a slot 1 pc 133 board. Does anyone here know the best board for slot 1 pc 133 lingering around? Be brief cause he will be reading this too. Also show why there is virtually no reason in buying a slot over socket.

Abit and Asus both make very nice Slot1 mobos in Via chipsets and intel bx version. There is nothing wrong with having a slot 1 mobo.They are still servicable and overclockable if you decide to do it.

ASUS P3V4X, or P3B-F if you insist on an Intel platform. i815E based CUSL2 is socket370 only, as will all boards be pretty much from now on.

I would say that Socket is better at least for one thing : its smaller !

Also, it seems that Intel want to build socket for the next few months and maybe next few years...considering this it is better to buy a socket motherboard.

For the 133 Motherboard i suggest CUBX or CUSL2. Of course, you need PC133 Dimms and a video card that can support 89 Mhz (Agp speed) if you go CUBX.
