I'm looking for a PIII 1g that will let me have 1G of RAM. The ASUS CUSL2-C was recommended, but it only goes to 512 mb RAM. It seems like only the dual processors will let you go higher than 1G RAM. I definitely want to stay with Intel. Can anyone recommend a motherboard?
 
All i81x mobo has 512mb limitation because intel wants you to buy rambus P3 systems using i840

Ur choice is a poorly design crap performance of VIA or arm and leg serverworks chipset P3 mobo for dual or just via for signle but poor performance

Cheap or expensive, whats your choice ?
 
I'm typing this right now on a Gigabyte GA6VX7-4X motherboard with a PIII 733 processor and 1 gigabyte of Mushkin RAM installed. The motherboard uses the Via Apollo Pro 133a chipset.

From what I've heard, this is not a good motherboard for overclocking, but I don't overclock (I want STABILITY!) This thing is rock solid; I haven't experienced any problems whatsoever.

From a benchmark standpoint, this setup doesn't get the awesome memory bandwidth numbers that you'd see on P4 or AMD 760-based system, but it really isn't noticeable. The system is rock-stable, and that's what I care about most.

You can get this board refurbished from Newegg.com here for $50.
