Socket 370 probably isn't the best choice, since that will only be Celeron in the future.
Stay away from 845, it's crap.
Dual CPU would be ok, but there are no dual P4 board around yet (that I know of, I know there are P4 Xeon boards).

I'd recommend an Abit TH7-II. It has Scket 478, which leaves you with an upgrade path. It's an i850 chipset, so it uses RDRAM, not SDRAM.

i guess the TUSL2-C is the best option for P-III right now, you <i>do</i> have a upgrade path for newer Tualatin P-IIIs which I suppose will survive till 1.5G.

the TH7-II RAID is the best option for P4 today since RDRAM is now already at sane prices and P4 itself is down by alot.

with this one, you might expect to get a P4 3+ GHz sometime later.
