Hi Fuchi,

I had the IBM 6.4 gig. HD w/ optional cache ordered as you suggested, and they should have it in tomorrow. The computer shop is using a M-Tech 534G board, I believe. I'll let you know when everything is up and running. : )

Thanks for your advice,
JohnD

Here's a good link to M537 VXpro
pcchips.com
Has anyone tried to 3x55 instead of 2.5x66? I have this board and might try some oc. I have seen 2.5x66 with 686PR200 run stable. Not too much heat either. I paid $147 for board Pr200 and big heatsink/fan back in Aug. I'll be going to a show this Sun and will look for a good price on Pr200MX. This has been my best board so far. My model has 3 big reg and no heat sink on them. They are only luke warm after 1/2 hr running.

Fuchi and others,
Just want to let you know that I received confirmation from Sybercom that they now sell the VPX version of the MB537 motherboard. they also said they would be getting the txpro3 (1 MB cache) very soon.
Which motherboard would you get now?
MB537 - VIA VPX chipset ($62)
MB560 - TX Pro ($69)
MB565 - TX Pro w/ 1 MB cache ($??)

I have 32 MB of 50nS Micron EDO RAM, and might like to try your trick of mixing EDO w/ SDRAM

thanks,
steve h
