Ditto. I'm slowly but surely dumping all my Intel Pentium stuff, plus most
of my 486 or older stuff :-) I've been using the ASUS P/I-P55T2P4, the
venerable Triton II overclocker's board, which I've got a plethora of, and
some P5A's. My baseline systems are now K6/233's, ranging up to
K6-III-400's (which still seem to be faster than their K6-2 higher speed
counterparts). Only using Intel for the SMP stuff now. And on my laptop
:-(
