What is the best dual Plll Mobo?

[KalamataKid]

Hello , I am building a new computer around Logic 5 or Cubase 5. OS: W2k. Will be using a dual Pentium lll motherboard with 1 to 2 GB or RAM. Some one suggested the GigaByte GA-6VXDC7. Does anyone suggests to use P4 over a dual Plll? (I do not want to use an AMD processor) Which is the best dual Plll Mobo available that will be the most compatible. I have not decided on the sound card. I will use only soft synth and samplers.

I would recomment an Asus CUV4X-D. I don't understand the RAID setup though. Seems to me the best way would be to have two drives striped for audio and an ATA-100 drive on the Primary IDE channel as the "C" drive with all the Apps and OS. ------------------ Mac Bowne G-Clef Acoustics Ltd.
