Any of the Asus CUV series motherboards seem to be really good. In fact there is one with a built in TNT2 M64 on ebay for $27 shipped which is pretty neat.

Slot or socket CPU?
I take you are talking about socket, though I remember them as being avaliable as slot CPU's too.

They seem to be highly favorable. I have never owned one personally. On the other hand, I have an Intel d815eea2, and I have only had good luck with that. Never benched it, yet it is rock stable. Only drawbacks so far, is the lack of ISA slots.

Though the D815EEA2 was an Intel board which might have used a BIOS with limited support for any other CPU than those the board was intended to run with, even if the CPU would work perfectly fine otherwise. Not entirely sure this is actually the case with the D815EEA2, but I do remember the BIOS of my D815EEA (non-Tualatin capable) board being quite limited compared to how forgiving other boards were when it comes to what CPUs they support.

Sorry I didnt mention that, its a socket 370

I am running a P-III 933/133 on my board. 😀 So this is perfect for what the OP is asking for.

EDIT:
Regarding Tualatin CPU's, I do not know if it can do 1.4
According to this article/review, it can do 1.2 Tualatin's.

Perfect, thanks...I see a couple of those boards on ebay....not a bad price either.

THe ASUS CUV is nice though, the ones with the ISA slot on them.

I have 2 Asus CUSL2-M board's one i just picked up this week with a Celeron 633mhz for £5. Rock solid 815 board and i run a modified Tualatin 1.4ghz chip in the one.

Btw, I second the D815EEA (with or without the additional 2 😁), great stability and shouldn't be hard to find.
Used 2 of these boards (1 with Coppermine 1GHz and the other with Coppermine 800MHz) and I never had any problems with either of them, except for one of the boards which seemed to have a broken floppy controller (CPU socket was damaged as well, but I could fixed that).

The only thing I'm unsure of, is whether any D815EEAs were different (like being from a Dell which often used different pinout PSUs), making them harder to work with.

And another s370 favorite of mine is the GA-6OXT (Tualatin board), it never had any problems running my Tully 1.4GHz and usually Tualatin boards run Coppermines just fine.

I don't complain about my d815eea2 board. Especially taken the price of 12 US Dollars including shipping. 😀

It's set up with V3-3500, 512mb Ram and YMF-724.
Just works like a champ.

Apparently it's not available at that price anymore, or at least not over here 😢

My first D815EEA was free, only had to repair it. The second one I got a little while later and was either for free also, or I got it from some machine I got for peanuts (like €5). This was a long time ago though and things were different.

Would've loved a D815EEA2, but I got plenty other spare suitable boards 😀 (mostly TUSL2-C iirc)

I was lucky getting my board. Nobody had bought it, as it was for sale during a period of nearly one year.
So I bought it as a hit or miss board, back in early 2015. (This was a local sales add)

Now I need to source an Asus/i815 of some sort, that has support for +1ghz and 133fsb. Isa does not matter.
I know they will pup up here, loacally. Only a matter of time.

Personally I like the 815 chipset on boards from the main makers of hardware.
It seems that it really does not matter if you find an Asus, Intel, Gigabyte or other big brands.
Unless you look at benchmark numbers alone. I think you won't notice +/- a few points when gaming UT99/Diablo-II
or any other games from 98 to 01. As long as the CPU is fast and it has a good GFX card. (V2-SLI, V3 or GF2)

If anyone is interested, I have Intel D815EEA2 to offer.

The Dell Dimension 4100 series also used D815EEA motherboards.

D815EEA2 is the one I use and its great, very stable, fast and supports the Tualatin chips natively as well , the D815EEA is also good, but as stated before it was also used in the Dell Dimension 4100 , so you have to be careful with that.

on a personal level , I would avoid the VIA chipsets for the PIII , Ive tried a number of boards and have had all manner of problems , in comparison to the i815 chipset which was relatively hassle free.

Do these work with standard ATX PSUs?

sadly they don't , they use that non standard Dell connection.

Just for completeness, I had a slot version of the 933mhz/133mhz P3 and I had it running with zero issues on an ASUS P3V133

Going for the ASUS CUV-4X with the ISA Slot....as long as the guy accepts my offer..

The Intel board may be my secondary choice if I dont get the price accepted...

EDIT - I got the ASUS board and at a very good price I was happy with....
