yeah,I know that,but epox is harder to find around here and I dont want to use ebay if possible (too much hassle if the mb arrives damaged or something.cant happen with a local seller,cause you just take the mobo back to him and bash his head with it when necessary)..what I wanted to know,does someone have personal experience with the MSI KT3 ULTRA2 R & 3dfx cards?

well If I remem Omega Supreme has that board and ran it many times with a 6K rev.A 3700 so I don't see the problem with the 3.3Volt AGP it has a universal AGP x4 so AGp x2 cards will fit so 1.5volt cards would work also.

abouth the barton support I'm not so sure, I can contact Omega Suprme for you, he has one of these mobo's Wink

but then with an AthlonXP Palomino 2100+

Although I do not have this specific model (I have the predecessor, ULTRA ARU), this mainboard has been used by many v5 6000 users. I believe even Amigamerlin used this mainboard, for his card.

Better safe then sorry.

Kind of not really related to that specific board and know the boards I'm about to mention are old but I know that both of the ECS boards K7S5A and K7S6A will use up to a XP 2600+ chip and will run a V5 5500 just fine. The 5A will only support DDR 2100 but the 6A at least will run DDR 2700 just fine. Haven't ran into problems with them at all. Like I said, these are older boards and I don't know if you can even get them any more, but hope this helps some one out there a little bit.
