Not as good as I hoped!

by LetItRut Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Mar 18 '02
Pros: AGP 4X, Slot 1 and Socket 370 connectors (but see Cons)
Cons: Slow performance, can't use both Slot 1 and Socket 370 processors simultaneously
I had been running a 700MHz Slot 1 Pentium III processor on my Asus P3B-F motherboard for nearly a year, until I decided to upgrade my video card (from a GeForce 256 DDR card to a Radeon 64MB DDR VIVO card) that requires AGP 2.0 support; the BX chipset...

Nice Board!

by Joe_R , Dec 07 '00
Pros: Extremely Flexible, Easy Setup

You don't need no stinkin' socket 370 adapter!

by GamepadGuru , Aug 08 '00
Pros: AGP 4X, Ultra DMA 66, PC 66/100/133 frontside bus & memory speeds
Cons: System MUST BE UNPLUGGED when inserting memory.
This is first motherboard I bought in two years. My Abit BH6 was getting long in the tooth even though I think it's still the best BX motherboard you can buy. I did some research on which motherboard I should buy. Hmmmm, Let me see......I need to have...

quality at a price

by book75 , May 24 '00
Pros: good price
Cons: compatibility problems
I bought this motherboard a few months ago when I was building a system for a friend of mine. I had never had any problems with the Tyan brand and figured that the motherboard was a good value for the price. Once I got the system together I began have...
