I am getting a new mother board this christmas for my PIII 700e slot one, after reading so many reviews I am now confused!
MY Video Card is Matrox G400 16mb,WD 10G hardrive and 256K ram. Pls help! I really need it.:(

Hey Daddyloy, Welcome to the forums....The people here are always ready to help out a fellow overclocker.

Not sure if you are aware, but there are many sections in the forum, one of them is Intel Motherboards, if you click on that section there is a search tab on the top right, you can type in Best Slot one motherboard and a bunch of discussions will pop up giving you peoples recomendations.

Anyway,

Here are a few of my suggestions for a slot one mobo:

Abit SH6

Asus P3V4X

And naturally the Abit Be-6II v2 (but this mobo is AGP2x and not AGP 4x, but is a legend in overclocking and stability)

Thanks, I think its kinda nice filling to have and be using a legend, but what is this agp 2x, 4x thing, does it make a lot of or any difference? Pls any body hlp! this is now the only thing that is stopping me in getting a BE6-2 board or are there any other pitfalls that I have to consider?

Does the Cusl2 do 100mhz bus or is it stuck @ 133?

The BE-6 Definitely obviously!

Your card probably won't even utilize AGP 4x so it doesn't matter.. :)
