Dual Gighz p3's

[SuperG 0]

Hey, are there any GOOD dual p3 motherboards out there that support a gigahertz besides that abit vp6? I hate abit after my current experience with my bx133 raid. It wouldn't even run my gighz processor even with a bios update. Peice of crap. Then it ran in pio instead of dma... aeh no more abit.

Suggestions?

There are not a lot of boards out there to choose from. I have the Tyan Thunder 2400 i840 chipset, it supports dual 1 gig cpus but I'm not sure if Tyan is making it anymore. I would wait for the new chipsets to come out from intel, don't know when that will be. There are not a lot of dual mb that support i gig cpus, these boards are not real feature rich but more made for the corporate server market.

 

My specs are below,

My m8 is running the Tyan tiger 133, which supports 1ghz P3's.

 

Alas he is having some trouble with compatibility with the gefs.

 

All other cards except for them

Which is a shame, well sort of, he sent me his gef coz it wouldn't work in his, which was jolly decent of him
