Motherboards - Page 2

The P4s533 has lan and is a good stable board and their RMA policy is second to none. I had one that was bad, walked in to the office in fremont(2 blocks from TYAN, i love Silicon valley)handed them old board, received new one. No questions. And I have never had any of them with a single failure that wasn't due to operator in Retard mode. I want to play with their dual Athlon MP nForce that they are working on. (Dual channel memory for dual athlons MMmmmm.......)

Gotta watch the part numbers VERY closely - ECS has made several boards *similar* to the p4s5mg/gl+ that are 400FSB only.

Down side of using interchangeable SIS chipsets - and NOT being carefull about model number construction, I guess.

*Both* ASUS and nVidea have denied the existance of a nForce-based dual Athlon chipset or motherboard or plans to do such.

There's been a LOT of discussion about that HardOC picture in the 2CPU forums - the general feeling is that it's a fake, and a not-real-well done fake at that, though it sure would be NICE.
