As you know, the 580VPX and 430VX chipsets based motherboards was the last chipsets that's easy to repair (non-BGA).
So, I would like to know which boards are the best with these chipsets ?

For example these motherboards are the best:
(support AMD K6-3+, NVS280 level PCI videocards, haven't very problematic BIOS, USB support e.t.c.)

- LuckyStar 5v-1A
- ASUS VX97
- ZIDA TX100/TX98 (-3D)

So, your mobos ?

I'm pretty happy with my upgraded PC Chips M530:

If K6-3+ support is important then I would look at the list of BIOS patches that Jan has generously done for everyone:

I think you could also look on theretroweb.com to see a list of mainboards using that chipset. I bet the list is long.

I saw all 580VPX and 430VX motherboards on retroweb and consider patched BIOSes too (for example ASUS VX97), but still interested in real use.
