First post, by DraxDomax
Apologies in advance, I know there are posts here and elsewhere but what I've been able to find doesn't make me feel confident about any choice.
The fact that the project in question is going to be on the back-burner for a while, doesn't help me focus on locking in the system configuration, either.
I seem to have stumbled upon a K6-III+ 550ACR 😀 and looking to build a system around it.
(I know, I know... PIII is better and then P4 is better and Ryzen-9-5950X is even better...)
The purpose of this system:
1. Play games of 2000-2002
2. Have a version of XP around
3. Host a Voodoo5 card
4. Basically flex my ability to reach out to weird places and find silly computer parts 😀
I was thinking P5A?
Found a P5A-B: Baby-AT form factor, which doesn't sound ideal... Price doesn't make it an easy call either: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174089876577
In terms of speed, I read here that the 133 and 120 FSB speeds are unstable with the K6-III+?
So, I guess I'll be setting it up for 5.5x100?
So, please suggest good motherboards for this build. If you can link actual items I can buy - that would be much appreciated.
