isn't all of them more or less from intel, if nothing else, the cpu? also
in other boards the chipset is always intel...

i think GigaBute already also has P6 board that's good, they also have
DUAL P6 board i'm tempted to get...

anyway, i'd suggest looking for GigaByte, i dont have the documentation i
could check the code for the board, it's at work...

but i think the latest Orion-chipset only had major probs in the multi CPU
sections, it added some wait states if there's more than 4 CPUs present...

but i could be also wrong...
