[zzzz]

Asus p3b-f
Abit Bx6- r2
Aopen AXBC -??

 

[tkim]

so these will support a slot 1 p3 @ 1 ghz? do you recommend any of these?

i have a lousy vc820 right now and i want to do away with its poor performance.

bx6-r2 all the way...one of the best bx's boards....adjustable cpu voltage, jumperless...still running one!

 

[tkim]

i know i am a rookie so forgive me if this question is dumb....i just checked the specs on the abit and it says upto 700mhz. will it work with my 1 ghz p3???

thanks!!

also, does anyone know where i can score one of these?? pricewatch and other web sites wont give me any hits when i type in that name.

i just fond a BE6 is that the same..i cant seem to find a bx6....

If you can find an ASUS P3V4X, that is a good stable mobo which will support slot one, 1 ghz PIII cpu's but they are getting hard to find. I'll be replacing mine soon with a Tualatin mobo socket 370

BE6 2 is the way to go..
BX6 won't have the options....That the BE62 has
My friend is running a 1GHz P3 on one stable..Nice board

Don't forget one of the top rated BX boards

Soyo sy6ba+iv, or the +100 version

Both are better rated than the Abit board.

 

[tkim]

so the BE6 2 or the SOYO SY6BA

this is what it comes down to......anyone with any moajor opinions. and most importantly, i cant seem to find anyone that sells these boards!!! any ideas as to which vendors??

I've got a BE6-II non raid version that I'm thinking of getting rid of. PM me if you're interested. Make an offer.

another one is

Abit BF6
Asus P3B-F was of my most stable motherboards i ever owned........not alot of fsb options tho
Soyo 6BA+III had this board as well..........did very well for me
Asus P3V4X.........i had some problems with this board . after fixing those problems it proved to be very good as well

You can read the reviews of these moboa from that AT main page, under the motherboards section. The final conclusion that the Anandtech reviewers gave the Soyo sy6ba+iv board was....




<< Soyo's done it again with the SY-6BA+IV - they've gone head to head with ABIT and come out on top. The SY-6BA+IV offers all the features of the ABIT BE6 and more. The selection of FSB speeds is currently unsurpassed in the market and matched only by the SY-6BA+III. If you were considering the ABIT BE6 or held off buying an SY-6BA+III due to the lack of Ultra ATA 66 support, make sure you put the SY-6BA+IV on your list as well. >>




the rest of that review can be seen right ....here
