So I have narrowed down the available motherboards to me (On ebay). This is what I have come up with.
AsRock 775VM8
Asus P5S800-VM
AsRock 775i65G (Blue version)
Out of these boards which would you think is the best? They all have full Win98 support and Cedar Mill.
Ideally I would rather have a 775VM800Pro-DDR2 or 775i65G black version, but they are pretty expensive or not available.
the last one, the AsRock 775i65G for the best perfomance (Intel chipset with dual channel RAM), the blue version can be ethier rev 1 or 2, when the black version is the rev 3 of the mobo, rev 1 only supports Pentium 4 and D, rev 2 supports 65 nm Core 2, when the rev 3 (black version) supports 45 nm CPUs like the Pentium E5800
if you don't need dual channel RAM, you can still look to the AsRock 775VM8 (VIA chipset based) or the ASUS P5S800-VM (SiS chipset based), i actually have the Asus P5S800-VM (rescued from a trash PC) and it works fine
