Larry,

At the moment I'm using the DFI P5BV3+, and I can say it's a pretty reliable
board. I'm using it with an AMD K6 3D at 300 MHz.It does have one problem
that it shares with almost all AT-boards; you only have one PCI-Slot that
you can use for long cards (e.g. VOODOO II's ). All the others have
ELCOs,the CMOS chip or the CPU blocking them.  Two weeks ago C't-Magazine
tested quite a few SS7 boards, and the Shuttle 591P was quite slow in memory
and harddisk throughput. This problem might be solved by a BIOS update
though. I don't recall the winner of this test (it wasn't the DFI board,
although they didn't do that bad.) and the magazine is at home, but I could
send you the name offlist if you want.
