RE: [TCLUG:6233] Builing A System

["Barnholtz, Brian" <BBarnhol@BENNETTLUMBER.COM>]

I've decided that the ASUS P2B-F is the motherboard for me.  Does anyone
have any suggestions for suppliers.  I check Gen. Nanosystems and they
no longer carry or care to order this board.  The only source I found is
CompUSA and they have to order it.  Any Ideas.

Thanks

Brian

	I just built a dual P-II/III system and the two best boards for
this
	seem to be the Tyan Tiger and the ASUS dual board.  However the
ASUS is
