Opinions wanted: Whats a stable Intel combo?

[Breadfan]

I know a whole lot about AMD platforms and systems, as I have one, and I prefer them over Intel when it comes to speed. I've found AMD systems to be reliable as well.

But, I've gotta build a really stable system, so I'm looking more closely at the Intel platforms....and in doing so, I realized that alot of my knowledge is kinda old!!

So I'll peruse the Intel pages here, but I was curious what some of you have been happy with in regards to your Intel systems. If I build an Intel system here, it will be a PIII. I've heard alot of good things about the ASUS CUSL2 board, but much past that I'm kinda vague in what I feel is a good stable setup...

So I'm just curious what you've been happy with.

The Asus board is a good board. So are the Abits.

There is really one three stable options when it comes to Intel systems and overclocking. Asus, Abit, and if you have the money....Tyan.

Go to the main page and check out some of the boards used in the cpu data base. I think You will see what kinds of results to expect form certin boards.

abit boards are really good, known for stability even when overclocking
if you want a powerful PIII mobo, maybe you should go with abit's VP6 mobo for dual coppermines, really really nice mobo, 4 dimm modules up to 2 gigs of ecc/non ecc sdram with 4 ide controllers, 2 are raid
5 pci and agp, no isa hehe slow things
tell us what ya get ;-)

Maybe you should read this first just in case so you don't run into this problem. I would say Abit or maybe epox.

I might be a little biased, but my Abit SA6R mobo is the best one I've ever owned. It is rock stable and I typically run it at 150 FSB.

kk266 heheheheh anything AMD

My Abit VH6-2 is pretty stable at 170 FSB at 169FSB its rock stable but this is a CPU problem not a MB problem. I had a Iwill and it was garbage so i took it back.

goodluck
