Sis???

The 630S is rumoured to be miles ahead of its pedestrian 630 forerunner. It now has AGP, is actually stable and can handle more PCI and DIMM. But it still suffers from a lame UDMA controller and awful memory latencies.
All in all it is a serious threat to the Via 133 series, but if you want the best for a PIII system, go for Intel (BX or i815 would both fit your bill).

Most mobo manufacturers seem to agree which is why I am at a loss to suggest any 630s mobo. Particularly the OEM market doesnt want to touch it with a barge poll after fiascos surrounding the 620 reliability.

What currency are those prices in? I wonder- if that's USD, I want a transatlantic plane ticket!
