I would also get 4x 512 PC133 ECC ram to go with it..


are there any other good dual PIII boards???...


onboard RAID will be a plus, but I have a RAID card so with out will be fine

Raider007

my friend has an Abit VP6, i dunno if that's the same board you're showing or not, but he likes the board alot he's got dual p3 1g running also.

That's really nice, Dopey. I know of other boards, but that, by far, is the most feature rich board I've seen.

How much is that, anyway? I too am thinking of going with dual PIIIs if I set up a workstation.

I own a Giga-byte 6bxd board and they are pretty solid and very stable! but It only can hold 1 gig of memory.

SpeedEng

also would u want to sell your raid card if u decide to get a MB with onboard raid?

DoPeY5007

nope sorry, hey I only paid $40 for it ( NEW )


I will put it in my second PC....
