Well, my P5MVP-A4 can handle a K6-III and goes all the way up to 450Mhz.  I
can also set it manually to 100x5.5=550Mhz although it probably wouldn't
boot with it.  AMD is saying that it will have a 500Mhz version of the K6-2
and/or III out soon.  The only thing I don't like about the board is it's
125Meg Caching limit because of its measly 512k onbd cache.  128 Megs is
what I have now so Im kind of stuck there for now.

I did own an FIC VA-503+ AT board that also ran well with the V3 but it
would not run my generic PC100 SDRAM at 100Mhz where this Tekram ATX board
does so with no problems.

The Tekram board seems a little slower than my 503+ board but it also seems
more stable so it's a nice trade-off.  This was my first ATX board and I
will never go back to AT again.  It's so much simpler and cleaner to
install.
