PIII-650 cbo - Which Motherboard?-

[pancho619]

I have a PIII-650 cbo FCPGA that I want to overclock but my Intel 815EEAL mobo doesn't allow me to o/c. What's the best mobo I can use for this, I have a 256mb pc133 CAS3 that I want to put to good use with this cpu because it's working at 100fsb on my Intel. All suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.

I would say the CUSL2 and i'm sure others would agree with me... but the BE6-II is still good, even if it IS on the BX chipset...and i'm sure you already know this, but why not try overclockers.com and check to see what mobo's people are using there... hope that helps..

Thanks JawaJedi. I looked there already, but everyone seems to be running slot 1 mobos, and I'd rather run a socket 370 with FCPGA rather than resort to a slocket. But I'll give the CUSL2 a try, thanks for the input.

*Edit* Scratch what I just said, I didn't notice that the CUSL2 is an FCPGA board. Thanks JawaJedi, I'll be ordering this tonight and trying it this weekend.

Hi pancho619 ? just wanted to know how you have your promise hooked up with your hard drives ,just picked up the fast track 66 and wanted to know how did you set it up!! Thanks

Actually, the motherboard I'm using right now has ATA100 so it's supposed to be faster than my ATA66 Promise card. What I did, was hook up my 2 hard drives to my primary ide controller, hooked up my DVD(master) and CDRW (slave) to my secondary ide controller, and heheh...my ATA66 Promise card is actually running my zip drive. I'm sure this isn't the best setup, but hey.....my hard drives seek time is fast as heck, when I tried it using them on my promise card I actually noticed it was slower, so I went back to my original setup. Hope this helps.

Yeah, always a good idea to back up your drive before attempting any new configuration. Good luck on that grass.
