From the looks of that silver heatsink on the voodoo 3 it's clearly a 3000,the 2000 has a smaller black heatsink.

I wouldn't pay that much for such a common processor. Is there any reason you are after this particular marking on the CPU? I think any MX PR233 or better, like the MII, can run at 200 MHz. Ok so it's a bit expensive even if transport is free ? problem is i can't find any kind of 6x86mx or M2 …

The onboard controller chip is a Highpoint HPT370, and google confirms this supports UDMA100 and hardware RAID :) http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/reviews/motherboards/BE6-II_v2_1.html You're right according to this review hpt370 gives u udma 100 and raid,so there are bx motherboards with raid …

There's a UDMA-100 controller on-board too, possibly with RAID, but I don't think I'll be using this since I already have a UDMA-133 PCI controller. It's only udma 66,bx chipset supports only udma 33,the controller gives u udma 66 support,udma 100 came later to the market , i don't think there is a …

Another fun aspect to VIA Super 7 is the USB controllers tend to be incompatible with devices that aren't a mouse or keyboard. That's the VIA 586B or 596 southbridge. The usual solution was a PCI USB card. It always fascinates me to see people say Super 7 was stable and reliable! I suppose if you …

I have two M577 boards, I never had any issues with either of them but I do not think I use VIAs IDE driver or the AGP driver for that matter. Performance wise the boards are working good and they should be able to cache 256 MB memory with the onboard 1MB cache. I have played lots of games using …

Try a slot 1 proc with 133 fsb see if that runs stable, maybe the slotcket pin moded tualatin combination is the cause for instability.
