Hi, and welcome to the forums,

If you want stable 100 Mhz FSB and AGP support, there are only two chipsets to consider: ALI Aladdin V and VIA Apollo MVP3.

The most popular Aladdin V boards are the Asus P5A / P5A-B and the Gigabyte GA-5AA / GA5-AX. They are quite easy to find and easy to use.

MVP3 boards need a bit more work to get running smoothly, but are said to be faster than Aladdin V when fine-tuned correctly. Some enthusiast boards, like the DFI K6XV3+ / K6BV3+ and Epox EP-MVP3G series were offered with 2MB cache, however, these versions have become rare and very expensive by now.

BTW, a Voodoo3 is a perfect match for a K6 system, nothing odd about that 😉

thanks 5u3, I'll certainlly look out for these two chipsets

and thanks for the comment, its not like there are even that many places online where voodoo's are actually welcomed 😁
(I need to tell that to one particular person who seem to think that even the ati rage's are better than any 3dfx voodoo's .. or maybe not and just leave him in his own ignorance 😜 )

this probably actually would be interesting when I get the wish k6 rig built, two rigs where one has a 3500TV and the other has a diamond viper 550 😀

now to think about it the viper 550 has outlines for additional components and on the bottom in about same area 'A/V IN' text is silked on, did anyone know which card model this likely would had been?

I have both and both died. Well one freezes at DMI pool verification at POST, the other is simply burned out. If you're looking for a system that will last more than 2 years I personally do NOT EVER recommend DFI.

A Geforce2 GTS usually deals the seal for a k6-2 system, but personally i've never been able to exceed 800 3dmarks in 3dm01 (though i've seen some scores for a P2 233 getting 1,700 3dmarks... which baffles me how it got that much)
