| ashokabg's Full Review: Asus P3V4X |
These boards from asus for the P3 are real good and fast boards. they are very reliable but a little pricy. worth it though.this is the link to the asus home page with info on their boards http://www.asus.com.tw/products/Motherboard/index.html
I would recommend the via pro33A chipset (P3V133A, this one etc). These chipsets run the boards at 133 bus speeds. Not as fast as many new boards but then we also have to remember that some burn in months are required for these faster bus motherboards. So at present it appears that this chipset which has been around for at least 2 years has proved itself to be quite reliable and fast too. i myself have this mb in a comp i built myself 667mz/133/128mb ram/16mg video/sound and accessories. this board is good trust me. only one drawback which i had and thought that asus could improve on considering the price they charge is that they should epoxy their boards, ie the boards should be covered with the green making epoxy, what this does is help insulate the PCB tracks and thus prevent shorting or any kind of electrical short circuit.
But the flip side is that most MB manufactures dont do this epoxy coating, except dell and gateway pc motherboards.
