lol sort of wandering from the topic... but does supermicro seem pretty good? my next system upgrade will be a p4 xeon, and i noticed they had a nice dual board... but im afraid of leaving tyan, seeing as how i did last time and ended up with an extra pos mobo to add to my collection... (abit VH6T.... if you see this board, just walk away... save you some frustration)

hmm.. tyan mobos are the best by far. no overclocking, but complete stability. no overclocking needed, anyway, runs great. never had any incompatabilities with the 2 i have used. (if u want dual pIIIs go ofr the tyan tiger 230T, best mobo out there)

Abit?? I purchased the VH6T, read a lot of good reviews (was planning on getting a Tualatin until P4's got better), but it turns out that its a POS that freezes outa nowhere... I could only get it working with a celeron, ... abits tech support sucks, everytime I sent for some help, they ignored me or said 'send your whole system to us and we will test it out'... and if you look at their forum everyone with the board seems to be having the same trouble :-/
