I recently purchased one of these boards, and was very disappointed with it, and with the response (or rather lack of response) from FIC. The board would not work with the external cache enabled irregardless of how conservatively I set the other CMOS settings. After struggling with it for a while I had my supplier order a second board, and that turned out to have the exact same problem. (This was tested w/ an Intel Pentium 100 just to make sure it was really the board causing the trouble, and not the K6). I was really let down by this because I wanted the VIA VP2 chipset, and this board seems to be the only way to get it. I switched to an ASUS P55T2P4 and everything is happy now. Just wanted to warn everyone about it. --John
