Ren 0 Posted March 14, 2001 Hello everyone, I am looking to get a dual-cpu motherboard and 2xPIII 1Ghz. Does anyone here have any experience of either of the 2 (subject) boards. The hardware I would be inserting into 1 of these 2 motherboards, consists of an SBLive, and an Nvidia GEF 2 GTS. So if anybody knows of any compatibility problems, please post below. The asus and the supermicro caught my eye, but I am of course open, to suggestions from the people on this forum. Thank you for your time. Share this post Link to post
EM 0 Posted March 14, 2001 Slot 1 or Socket 370 ships? The P6DBE only officially supports 100 FSB so you will be limited to using the Slot 1 1Ghz chips unless you are willing to try overclocking two 750's but there are no voltage tweaks on the board at all. I have that board so I can say with all honesty that it is rock stable with my GeForce2 MX and my SBLive OEM running 600e's @ 800 at default voltage. (I feel a little lucky at that since from what I have read most chips take a bit more voltage to go as high as mine do) Ed Share this post Link to post
Ren 0 Posted March 15, 2001 Sorry I took so long to replying. I am currently expecting delivery of an Asus CUV4x-D, seeing as I do not need the scsi 160 or Lan, as i have a scsi and lan acrd already (£150 price difference too). 2x PIII 1 Ghz, 512MB PC133 Sdram. I am ordering these from www.scan.co.uk. The price of the ram is unbelievable £69 inc. I have also ordered a Game Theatre Xp from Dabs. I shall let you know how I get on. Wish me luck 8-) Share this post Link to post
Ren 0 Posted March 22, 2001 MAchine is up and running, and is running superbly. I am very impressed with the stability and installation. It seems that VIA have sorted out their problems, as I didn't 'have' to install the VIA driver to get everything working, although I did install the 'final' version of the 4in1's after I had finished. The HErcules XP card sounds wonderful. I will get some benchmarks to you as soon as.

Ren 0 Posted March 26, 2001 I forgot to mention which drivers I was using on the previous benchmarks (apologies for this). They were the 6.50's Official. I recently tried the 10.40 and 10.80's and actually lost marks. The fastest drivers I have found are the Det 758's 6550 - 3dMark 2000 Default benchmark Share this post Link to post
