I was wondering if anyone remembers if Asus made a MicroATX that has a 2xAGP slot and preferably support a 800PIII. The reason I ask, I'm a big fan of the old 3DFX, and no longer have a board that I can play my old Voodoo5 5500.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v407/undergroundtech/DSCN0265.jpg
I would like to change out the motherboard on my secondary system to use this card if I can find such a board

I've found 370 and slot1 boards with AGP 2x and 4x... but nothing M-ATX :(
I have a p3/800 with a voodoo3 3000 agp in the closet running linux... nostalgia :P

I have a MicroStar MS-6156 Motherboard if you're interested. Here's some specs I could find:

Thanks Bio-Hazard, I'll keep it in mind. I'm really looking for a socket 370 that will support the Coppermine PIII's.
I might consider other Mfr's besides Asus, but I'm kinda scared of the Abit boards, because I've had problems with there capacitors on a KA7-100 that was probably built about the same time as a the board I'm looking for.
If I knew the model of the board I'm looking for (if it was made), I think I could find one in good or in new condition. Asus website archives on there older boards is not very good, you can no longer just brows around looking at all the different specs.
I could throw in a (P.O.S.) PCI 9200 in my current TUSI-M board but had much rather get a similar board with 2xAGP and use the 5500 if possible.

After many hours digging around on the net, I think I might have found a board that might work. An Asus TUSL2-M supports the PIII socket 370, is M-ATX and has a AGP 4X Pro slot.
I'm thinking it should also work with a 2X AGP?

Sounds like it should work as 4X is normally downward compatible with 2X AGP.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. however, it uses an Intel 815 Chip set, I'm guessing I'll lose a lot of OC features by going that direction?
