Well I know which one is very good

It's for dual Pentium!!!/EB 1Ghz Socket 370:

ABiT VP6
2x Intel Pentium!!! Socket 370 up to 1Ghz support
4x 512Mb PC-133 Supported ECC /Reg also supported but not recconmended
VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset
HighPoint 370 ATA 100 Raid

I've got that board with 2x P3/EB 1Ghz and 4x 256MB PC-133 SDRAM. It is very stable also.

Omega _Supreme & Hank says it's chipset is old enough to support even a V56K Rev.A1 1500 with Intel Bridge chip ;)

Friendly Regards,

Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Yes I agree with Obi-Wan_Kenobi here. This board looks very promising but you need it for final revision right? Like I said on 3dfxzone, just be be sure you should ask Rolo01. He was using a P3 board until he upgraded to 2.8 Ghz P4. Its a pitty that voodoo6000.com is offline they had a list of fully supported mainboards. Maybe they had a P3 board too.

Well, somebody has tried this board under v6k? It seems to be a nice board!

Last revision= Update final bios, right?

If I am not wrong, Roland utilized a ASUS P3BF with one PentiumIII-S 1400GHz and Celeron 1400GHz too. He also is utilizing a ABIT SA7 PIV 2.8GHz.

Hi Oschar,

This board has not been tested yet. Obi-Wan_Kenobi owns this board and we are planning to test the 6K on it someday. I hope you can find the right mainboard soon. Im very interested, so if you do find one please report it :)

well yes that's true, I'm sorry I was alittle mixxed up then hehe, indeed we are planed to do so. Anyway the ABIT VH6-II Socket370 is also a great VIA based mobo for Intel Pentium3 ;)

and there is also this one :)

SMP ASUS CUV4X-DLS motherboard
(VIA Apollo Pro 133A)

The ASUS also support Dual Pentium3 EB as you can clearly see, but it also has a nice Adeptec Dual 160 SCSI RAID controller onboard :D

I had an abit VP6, it had many problems. first some functions weren't working properly ( I can't remember, I think it was temp sensor or something) then after I got it back after a week it stopped working. finally the third time I got mine back from RMA it was fine but after a year it burnt out. maybe because it was being used as a server and was left on alot but I didn't think there was enough stress to burn out.
