The best Pentium 3 motherboard

[beach_boy98]

i am going to build my retro gaming Pc soon. I am using the P3 and I need to choose a motherboard. Because i'm young i have no experience with stuff this Old. What is the very best motherboard for a P3. Price isn't to much of a deal but I don't want to spend 200 quid one one.

 

 

Thanks Beach.

I presume you're talking about Socket 370 PIII, not Slot 1.

If I remember right, you'll probably want something based on the 815 Solano chipset.

I seem to vaguely recall the Asus CUSL2 being pretty famed, although it's been many years

and I was on Athlon back then, so memory might be deceiving me.

I've found a big roundup on Tom's, maybe have a read through that to get you in the right

They seemed pretty happy with the CUSL2: http://www.anandtech.com/show/595/7

Socket 370? If yes, what FSB?
