Have you tried these web sites for more insite?- www.anendtech.com (http://www.anendtech.com) or www.motherboards.org (http://www.motherboards.org)
I cant' personally give you advice except that "if ain't broke don't fix it"
Wish my wife would build me one http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

Boy, I sure hope you set the voltage right on that thing....or we won't be hearing from you for a while on that chip. It should be running at either 1.6 or 1.65 volts. Standard p3's run at 2.0 volts. If your board is forcing it to run at that voltage, it will surely be fried soon.

Well ye this shoulda probably been in m/bs, but whats done is done, well until socalgal sees =)

But I'd probably recommend a Soyo 6VBA (pretty cheap too) or the BF6. Check around and see what other people are running their coppermines with.
