i820 Chipset / Asus P3C series

[jclw]

Does anyone here have (or used to have) an i820 based board?

How about an Asus P3C series board?

Any observations on this chipset? (Stability, ease of overclockability, etc...)

(1st hand experience only please, I've read the reviews as well)

Used to have one (P3C2000 I think) but traded it in for another board due to the i820 recall.

It was only the MTH (Memory Translation Hub - used to convert SDRAM signals into RDRAM) that was defective. All i820 SDRAM based boards were recalled, but the i820 RDRAM versions worked fine.

What did you think about the P3C-2000 when you had it? I'm guessing stability may have been a factor because of the defective MTH.
