I'm currently running a PII 266 Intel with a Micronics LX440 motherboard.
Both of which are about 2 years old, and are due for an upgrade.

I've got 128 megs of SDRAM PC100 (I believe) and would like to move this,
and all of my other components (hard drive, cdrom, soundcard, video, etc)
over to a new system.

Can anyone suggest a top quality motherboard that will support an Intel PIII
processor?

And... If I go Intel PIII, what's the best one for the value/price ?

A 500 mhz? Or ???

Thanks for the help!!!

As always, YMMV, but I'm very happy with my soyo ba iv+ . I am running a non
coppermine 450 at 600. I've heard that it is very easy to clock a coppermine
550 to 733 (133 bus so make sure your memory can handle it). With the soyo
(and most recent bx boards) you can overclock with a couple painless tweaks
in the bios. I think the 550 can be pretty hard to find. Also make sure you
get a coppermine not a katmai. They are about the same price and the
coppermine is much better.  Also make sure you get a 100mhz  version not a
133. I think the 133's are marked B and the coppermines are marked E. So a
100mhz coppermine 550 would be marked 550E. Cheers and good luck.
www.pricewatch.com is a good place to look for low prices. www.anandtech.com
is a good site for information. http://www.hardocp.com is a great site if
you like to blow things up :-)

Great for O'clocking P3's or Celery's (with an adapter card)
