I don't have an epox board although I may get one to increase my oc potential what is the best to go for??

(First Post on the new board)
 
epox mobo overclocking

the two best overclockable chipsets made are the
via appollo pro
(133a) (266/266t) the later being the first ddr chipset
epox and aopen both have dually mobo`s that use the
via appollo pro 133a chipset up to 150 mhz front side bus
and they also accept virtual channel pc-166 mhz ram
syncmax.com makes this ram
plus they also also accept the new celerons 1.1/1.2 ghz
only if the mobo supports vrm 8.4 voltage
specs
aopen`s mobo has manual jumpers on it for overclocking

personally i feel that (and ive read many reviews to back this up) the best Via Apollo Pro 133A board is the P3V4X.....i havent read a review that hasnt given it editors choice yet....personally i would prefer a bx for PIIIs though...or better yet an i815EP tualatin board......EPox really didnt make their overclocking splash unitl the 8K7A before that it was ALL Abit and ASUS...
 
pro 133a

this is a up-date to that chipset
ecs made a dual proc mobo could get safaly up to 166 fsb
and was extremely rock stable.
also i found out the manufactuers never programmed
4-way (bank) memory interleave into the bios which in turn
chocked this chipset badly.
go the viahardware website and down load the .bin program
which enables this option .
tests with this option and using vc-pc-166 memory proved
the cumine-820-rambus combo did not come close to
memory bandwith transfer speeds.
the ecs mobo d6vaa-r (R) means raid
david .ps. this mobo is cheap on the market
