Need a cheap P3 mobie. Plz help.

😱 Yes yes, i know, it's totally obsolete. My ASUS CUSL2 absorbed the full shock of dropping a heavy steel case one foot off the ground with sweaty hands, while being bolted down inside. Warranty is probably over, as i had it for more than 2 years. Does anyone know the warranty ASUS gives for mobies? I still have the $220 667mhz processor i bought more than two years ago and need a mobo for it now. Can someone please recommend me a mobo that is under $70?
I'm looking for:

Intel B-Step i815ep based preferred over VIA 694T based
Good overclocking options (my processor hits 195mhz fsb on my CUSL2 @ default voltage!!!)
one ISA (for my ancient AWE 64 sound card that i paid $50+ over 4 years ago)

Sorry to hear about the mishap! 🙁

I was hunting on Axiontech because they tend to have a wide range of brands. The only thing to surface at Axiontech so far which supports Tualatins and has an ISA slot is the EPoX EP-3VSA2 and that's a VIA board. This is a full ATX board with an AGP slot.

TCWO and other outfits carry the Biostar M6VLQ, if you give up searching for non-VIA boards. M6VLQ This is microATX and doesn't have an AGP slot, so you're stuck with the onboard AGP video or a PCI video card.

I just ordered an Abit VH6T board from Newegg for $68 delivered. I just had my Soyo 6BA+100 board die and needed to replace it with something that has an ISA slot for my old modem.

Well i geuss VIA is the only way to go for that ISA.🙁 Thanks for the help, i do have a shuttle mobie right now i bought from frys to test which component died, but i doubt it is good as i just bought it to test.

I think that ASUS mb has a 3 year warranty....

Really! Thanks for the info.

Doubt the warranty covers damage from being dropped, however... 🙁
