Preferred mobo for PIII 700e @ 933+?

Please forgive the cross post, but this fits well with both overclocking / cpu's and Motherboards.

I'd like some opinions about this before I go out and buy something.
I have a nice P3 700e guaranteed by Compuwiz1 to do 933. He likes the Asus CUSL2-C mobo for these
and I am inclined to go with that but I thought some of you would have some ideas, pros / cons, likes & dislikes and any suggestions are welcome. I tend to try to stay with a mobo a long time so I would want something that will last me a year anyway.
I like the softmenu on my BH6, but would like to be able to make finer adjustments to the fsb and voltages. Of course being able to keep the PCI at 33mhz is a must, but having 4x AGP would also be nice.
Please make some suggestions.
 
i have to agree with Compuwiz1 about the CUSL2-C. i actually have the CUSL2 (i would have gotten the CUSL2-C, but i got mine b4 they even mentioned making another 815 chipset w/ out the onboard video). i also got my P3 700E from Compuwiz1, and i am running it @ 1 GHz, but it will go up to 1092 mHz. the CPU and mobo combination is amazing! i also heard that the MSI 815E Pro is a great mobo, and second only to ASUS when it comes to stability. but my personal opinion sways towards ASUS.
 
Thanks, that makes the decision a bit easier.
I think I'll look up some prices on this board... 😀
 
The CUSL2-C covers all of your requirements. ASUS has a softmenu equivalent, being able to make adjustments to the FSB in 1MHz increments, changes to the voltage in 0.05v increments, keeping the PCI speed close 33MHz and AGP4X.
 
definitely go for the CUSL2-C, i had a CUSL2 in my old intel system which i updated to a CUSL2-C. one of if not the best board i've used, before i recently switched to AMD and got and MSI Pro2-A 🙂
 
Fantastic, I see on PW there are new ones in the $110 range - very nice!
Thanks guys, I appreciate the advice!
 
If your not interested in a raid setup for HDs I would go along with Compuwiz and get a CUS. For a raid setuo I would go with the Abit SA6R.
 
Yup, well I went to town and bought one at a local Puter store for $118.
Gonna install it when I'm feeling a bit better.
Anyway, I figured after S&H any online source would come to more than what I paid locally, plus I can get local support should anything be wrong with it out of the box.
Thanks to you all - hopefully I'll be typing from my new CUSL2-C P3 700e @ 933 RSN.
