I was looking for a dual processor motherboard. I was pretty sure about using 370 socket, Pentium III. Other important things include AGP 2/4X, Ultra DMA 66/100, 133 front Side Bus, SCSI, up to 2/4 GB RAM, lots of exspansion slots, to name a few.

What I considered
Name : VP6 Manufacturer : Abit Why I like it : Ultra DMA 100 RAID on IDE AGP 4X 4 USB, 2 on board, 2 by cable VIA chip set Affordable ~$150 Concerns : No on board SCSI No on board Network
Name : 6VXDC7 Manufacturer : Giga-Byte Why I like it : AGP 4X 4 USB, 2 on board, 2 by cable VIA chip set Affordable ~$140 6 exspansion slots (one is ISA, but flexability is good) Concerns : No on board SCSI No on board Network No ATA 100
Name : Tiger 230 (S2507D) Manufacturer : Tyan Why I like it : AGP 4X 4 USB, 2 on board, 2 by cable 133 MHz front end bus ATA 100 Affordable - ~$130 Concerns : No SCSI No Network
Name : Asus CUV4X-DLS Manufacturer : Asus Why I like it : AGP 4X 4 USB, 2 on board, 2 by cable 133 MHz front end bus Ultra DMA 100 Network SCSI Supports 4 GB RAM Concerns : dunno... the price seems good for these features at ~$320 This looks like the one folks... as long as I can find one without the built in audio
