Ok, well, you're kinda stuck because either you can have a board that supports the lower P3 that uses the SECC or the later ones that use whatever slot they use. So which would you need/want?

Look for a board that uses the VIA 694T chipset. It will allow more than 512mg of ram (unlike the intel 810 or 815) and support all the way up to the last P3, the 1.4ghz (right?)


But why are you spending money on a board that can only take the OLD chip??

Get a nForce2 board and a Cheap athlon. A lot better bang for ya buck.

I would guess some sort of slot 1 BX chipset board might be your best bet for 'widest range' of PIII's, because you run slot 1 processors or socket 370 with an adapter (including Tualatins with the right adapter). But it would help if you could clarify what you're looking for. As previously suggested, a socket A board and cheap Athlon would be a much better choice.
