Asus P3V4X

Pros: Very stable, once setup
Cons: Tricky setup

I had been an ASUS owner for several years, since back in the days of the Pentium series of processors. When I upgraded to a Pentium II board, my local reseller was using DAEWOO motherboards with very good success, so on his recommendation I used a...

Pros: Fastest ApolloPro board for around $100
Cons: Some BIOS versions were aweful

***NEW***
For the record, I've been asked to state what processor I'm using on this mobo -- I'm using a Celeron2 566Mhz on an MSI6901Master Slotket running at 1102Mhz. I've also POSTed the processor at 1309Mhz, but massively corrupted the hard...

Pros: Jumperless configuration, excellent manual, very stable
Cons: poorly located floppy cable connector

I was getting ready to build a new computer and the only parts I needed were a motherboard and a processor. I consulted several hardware sites and some friends who had built computers before about what brands to consider for a motherboard and I settled...

Pros: Cheap, many expansion slots, ease of setup
Cons: Low memory bandwidth

Having read a few reviews about the motherboard, I decided to purchase this one. Asus has always been a pretty good maker of motherboards and other parts. The P3V4X continues this trend.

The P3V4X comes with 5 PCI, 1 ISA/PCI shared,...

Pros: Plenty of features, very easy to install
Cons: Buggy chipset, requires patches. Bad AGP support.

I bought this motherboard after reading many reviews of chip sets that supported 133 MHz buses. I've had an Asus board before (and since).
Asus generally makes great motherboards, and for many people, the P3V4X is no exception. This motherboard had...

Pros: Expandable, Affordable, Solid, Features, Name Brand
Cons: Clocking chip on early models may overheat if overclocked, needs 4.22 VIA drivers to run solid and fast.

Once I upgraded the board to BIOS revision 1005 and reset the configuration under the BIOS and then reinstalled the operating systems of Windows2000 Pro and Windows 98 SE I was able to get good stable performance out of this mother board. The other fix I...

Pros: Can handle Slot 1 at 133
Cons: Via chipset

I recently came across a slot 1 Pentium 3 - 667 at 133Mhz and I had a 128MB stick of PC133 memory. So I needed a good motherboard to support the two. I had an older slot 1 motherboard made by EPoX which was absolutely great. Problem is that is would...

Pros: Stability, Features
Cons: Jumpers

This is actually an review of the P3V133. This motherboard is a step down from the P3V4X. I actually made a mistake and purchased the P3V133 instead of the P3V4X. The price difference was so minimal that I couldn't really tell which one was what.

Pros: Stable, Stable, Stable
Cons: none

After my last computer started choking, my wife said "Get a new one!!!" My last computer was my first and I made my share of mistakes. This time I did my homework (reluctantly) and got a PERFECT motherboard. I wanted a friend to put together...
