Joe, I will probably buy the board from Grump Micro.It also has 1 MB L2 catch. For a good review of the Shuttle Hot 603 see: tweakit.com where it got the second "Tweaked Award." This review (10/12/97) noted problems with stability at 83 MHz, but hopefully this has been resolved with more recent Bios updates. Question: has anyone successfully used the 603 at 83Mhz? Anand's also has a good review of the board. Finally, do you have any recommendations for SDRAM? I'm thinking of getting 32 MB generic, but will buy a name brand (Micron, etc.) if there's a real advantage.

Joe, I bought a Shuttle Hot 603 Board in December. It worked fine and it operates well. It has 1M byte of cache and is very stable. It is an AT Style Motherboard. It has 2 DIMM Slots, so it is best to buy a single 64M Byte SDRAM DIMM to support expanded memory without throwing some away later! It also supports caching main memory up to 128M Bytes. I am waiting for the next generation of motherboards, which should support 3 DIMM's, 100 MHz System Bus, and AGP. Bob
