I am going to replace my Chaintech MB with something that has adjustable DMA latency timing. I only get something like 30MB/s with the DMA test on my Sierra Screaming 3D and N2 does not run smooth at all. I also want it to support SDRAM and the coming AMD K6. Has anyone tried the K6 with a Rendition board? Possibility to overclock to 75/83MHz would also be nice. Anyone got any suggestions?

Well, I know the ASUS P55T2P4 goes up to 83Mhz, I'm running it right now. And at $159 it was a steal, unfortunatly, I had a prob with my Sierra Screamin' 3D card while running at 83Mhz, so I "Tamed" it down to "Only" 75..... so I'm running a p187 w\mmx...... lot better thatn the old 486, thats fer sure...

I beleive it had more to do with windows than anything else, it was one of the *.VxD files..... Go figure..... Still, it's better than what I had...
