Which is why I felt it was important to mention context.

I'm sure they are fine boards but if you are looking to run a Barton 3000+ and a V5-6000 there are better choices then MSI IMHO.

I plan on using the MSI Ultra II I purchased as a daily box with an 1800+ since it has RAID and I can mirror drives for the ultimate in data security Grin

yeah okay, everyone has a different aspect on what they want really. I have a Dual OpteronDP 244 on a MSI MS-9130 K8T Master2 FAR and it runs as stable as a rock with my X800XT PE, but for a Voodoo5 6000 I hear from alot of European users that the MSI's are just fine, maybe it's the way you configure it's Bios. allready tried the newest Bios Gary?

Of course.

The board lists 1x/2x AGP operation but only shows options for 1.6, 1.7 & 1.8 volts for AGP voltages.

This leads me to suspect that only 1.5V is being sent (since 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 v is not being shown as options) to the AGP connector regardless of AGP mode operation.

And it has no way of reporting AGP volts under hardware monitoring, so not worth risking a V6K to find out.

yeah true, what other brands would be safe? Gigabyte maybe? About that EPoX board of yours it is a good one just read some nice reviews on it, sorry about my bad talk about EPoX but my experience was rather scary, and the best board I had was and still is the EPoX EP-MVP3G2 for Super 7, it has a real 3.3 volt AGP x2 slot. my Voodoo3 3000 AGP +TV-out works great in it. anyway the system is allready 8 years old it's my good old Nostollagy system

Wing Commander IV The Price Of Freedom and Wing Commander Prophecy are good games to play on it even Descent3 runs fine. The CPU is a AMD Kryptonite6-2 500Mhz @ 550Mhz and 288MB PC-133 @ PC-100.

Dunno if a Voodoo5 6000 would work in a MVP3G2 mobo, okay I know that the CPU is kinda slow, but would it work?

I think with a 5500 your K6-2 would be the bottle-neck. A 6000 is too precious to experiment with but I think it would function on that board.

me and my funny idea's that systems name is GASAAP in germain --> GAS APE in english Acceleration APE LOL hahaha and a 6000 in it I would really laugh hahaha would be soo coool just the looks of it Cheesy

I did OC the CPU to 550Mhz, but I think a K6-III 500Mhz would be a better idea, but finding a K6-III 500 isn't that easy.

It is totally compatible with my BARTON 3000+ 333BUS. I have tried the board with my v6k and it is totally STABLE like a ROCK. For me this board is much better than the MSI KT3 ULTRA REV. 2. I have compared both boards and I prefer the EPOX board. Regards, Oscar
