Hey folks, I'm back in the States for a couple of months and trying to find a motherboard for my ol' computer. I need one with 5 PCI slots, AGP and a slot 1 for 750Mhz Pentium III. Any ideas where to look, I'm not having much luck.

man, the only 440BX mobo i have is a dually SECC that is in my server. i can look around though

Look around for a Soyo 6ICA I've used them for years with a p3 450 and p3 1ghz slot 1's and they're great boards.

edit-
couldn't find a 6ica - but here is a
Soyo SYBA+ Slot1

Intel SE 440BX-2 is your solution. Happen to have one right here too! Forget overclocking though - impossible with the intel board.

Thanks for the help folks. The Soyo board looks interesting. I'd sure like on with ATA/100 support though. I would also like to be able to overclock with software. Please let me know if you think of anywhere else to look and I'll post back if I find something.

probably would be best to get a stand alone ATA-100/133 Card

Yea, and add on board is probably the way to go with ata/100

Soyo boards allow overclocking in the bios, but the p3 slot 1's don't overclock much.

yah they arent very OC Happy, last i heard a P3 SECC OC was only a 50-100 MHz jump

Thanks again for all your help. Talked to ABIT today and the BE6II Rev2 is still under warranty. I believe because of continuing capacitor problems. I just need to send them the bad MB and $7. Hopefully the new one will last longer than the old one.

now thats a good thing to here.


i found one aswell, but it only has 3 PCI Slots
