Can anyone recommend a board with a 133MHz front side bus, six PCI slots, 1GIG max ram or higher and Ultra Wide SCSI? I've looked at the Intel SE440BX just because it's compatible, but I'd like something more expandable and powerful...

Thanks.

Have a look at ASUS motherboards? I just picked one up. 6pci slots, 133Mhz, don't know about the scsi. There's the link to their website.

Sorry. I've been reading (to the best of my ability) the German site.

Which chipset was it based on? The only Asus boards that had 133MHz front side buses were VIA's. Aren't they supposed to be problematic?

I hope not. I can't remember the name of the particular board I got. I'm at work. It's new so it might be a an Intel 815E chipset or 810/810E. What sort of problems should I look for and hopefully not find?

I've heard good things about the ABIT BE6 boards.

the early via (133) chipsets were a bit crap.. well in my experience. but they improved the actual speed of the memory bus by about 50% with the 133A chipset.

ASUS k7V. thats what you need, it has the new via chipset, plus you can overclock it from the bios.
