Which of these classic boards would you keep?

I am debating whether to keep our P3V4X in our second rig here, or swap it out with the Soyo SY-6BA+100 BX board I purchased recently for the third rig I am building with spare parts and selling.

So what do you think?

The BX is a solid chipset, but I'm kinda unsure about Soyo as a company. It could be a very nice and stable board, with a bigger chance of support a higher multiplier. Also the BX will give you more memory bandwidth, but the Asus might be a bit more clockable.

Totally up to your prefference, have you tried out either board heavily yet?

I only know about the Soyo. I used to have one and I never had a prob with it. I never o/c'd it. But in Stock config it was solid.

What I don't get is that the Soyo site says that this board has Raid ata100 and 133mhz official fsb support, yet the documentation I have on it says nothing of raid, claims ata66 support and lists no in manual multiplyer settings for 133 fsb.

Perhaps I have an earlier revision of the board?

I would keep the Soyo.
I have the SY-6BA+IV, which is my server now. Stays on for months at a time. 800 P-3, 512megs of Crucial Ram, Promise Fasttrax 100 tx2 controller, two IBM 60Gig drives, Enermax 350watt power supply, and a 3com NIC.

......it just keeps going and going :2cool:
