Sorry for necroposting, I have bought recently an ECS P4S5A/DX+ thinking that I would have been able to use the Pentium 3.06 with HT, unlucky this specific model of mb is not able to enable HT, now I'm looking for another mb that let me use the HT feature while keeping the highest AGP support as possible, any suggestion?

I believe it did support HT, but no idea, i could try mine with the 3.06 HT and newest BIOS if you want, if not, another board, i know gigabyte Gigabyte GA-8ST800 and Gigabyte GA-8ST667 supports them

Also if i remember, if you plan to use the voodoo 5 5500, i heard the ECS P4S5A/DX+ has issue with that card

I'm using the latest bios, I also updated the microcode, unlucky it's a know issue of that mb (https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24 … S-P4S5A-DX.html), I tried the v5 5500 and it works without issues, I just use this system to try different videocards, if you are willing to try your mb with ht i'm grateful but I doubt the outcome will be different.
I try to look for the gigabytes mb, thanks!

I've found an Asus P4S533-E, but info aren't clear if it supports ht or not... any suggestion?

I have the same board and no dice. No ht but should run the 3.06 just no ht. Overclocks to a max of 153 atleast thats how far i got incase you interested in overclocking.

Thank you for the info, unlucky I am a mainly interested in ht more than overclock

Some ACER systems from around 2003-2004 had a SIS 651 (ECS) based board in microATX form-factor. A few did in fact support hyperthreading, but being an OEM system there's little to no overclocking on them. One board in particular I've used in the past is the L4S5MG / 651+, nice and stable for most things.

Could you please tell me if the Asus P4VP-MX can work with a Voodoo 5 5500?
Thank you!

Gigabyte 8VM533M-RZ is not compatible with AGP 3.3v physically. And according to ASUS P4V533-MX manual, none of the VIA P4M266A boards are electrically compatible with AGP 3.3v. So all motherboards on that chipset should be marked as untested, until proven on practice.

Asrock M266A is known to support 3.3v and support voodos, some 3dfx users already used that one, even paried with CT-479 (unofficially supported)

Updated thread, added few boards and revamped the thread a bit
