P3V4X is the best slot1 motherboard.

P3V4X is the best slot1 motherboard. There is no other slot1 motherboard that is better than the P3V4X.

Is this a rally call for all P3V4X users? I like mine.

 

[pm]

I like mine too, but I can think of other boards that would be better for other applications. "Best" depends on the application.

 

[Challenger]

That is a nice board but the P3bf IMHO is the best slot1 board I have had the privelige to use just my $.02

 

[energeticelectron]

P3B-F is a very nice board.

But it's 440BX. It only has 100Mhz FSB, ATA-33, AGP2X.

The P3V4X has 133Mhz FSB, ATA-66, AGP4X.

My P3V4X has been great, no complaints here

"Best" depends on what you want it for. The P3V4X was a great board but there were ways in which other boards were better.

<<P3V4X is the best slot1 motherboard.>>

Its obsolete anyway, lets lay off the garbage talk, though I still believe the MSI BX Master is the best Slot1.

The P3V4X has 133Mhz FSB, ATA-66, AGP4X

The BXMaster has 100Mhz FSB, ATA-33, and AGP2X.


How does that compare?

 

[LXi]

For starters, MSI has an extra IDE ATA66 controller, not that it makes a difference anyway, AGP4x has at most 2% performance increase over AGP2x, and finally a high quality BX board like the BX Master will run 133MHz with little problems.

You'll just be running in to a wall if you're trying to convince people that the VIA133A boards are superior to BX.

p3v4x rocks i have 2

 

[kami]

woo p3v4x! love mine too.

 

[AndyHui]

Both the ASUS P3V4X and the P3B-F are excellent boards.

 

[4824guy]

I am sure your p34vx is nice. But I think the soyo 6ba+iv or +100(raid) are great also. The BX chipset memory management out performs the via 133 every time. Plus the soyo has ata66, ata100, or raid options, and 4 IDE's for up to 8 drives.

AGP 2x or 4x difference is next to nothing.

only major gripe is about intel, they aren't gonna ramp up the p3 anymore Wish i could slap a 1.5ghz p3 into my system

The P3V4X Rocks. I dont have one..but i know people and i have played with it. I have the P3V133, which is the same thing...except the p3v4x has a newer revision of the apollo pro 133
