I have had very good luck with with the Asus P2B-D motherboard. I am currently
running dual Celeron 266 processors overclocked to 412 each with the modifications
found at http://kikumaru.w-w.ne.jp/pc/celeron/index_e.html My system has 128MB of
Toshiba SDRAM, an NE200 network card, an Adaptec 2940UW card with multiple
devices, and an NCR53c875 differential scsi card with a 9GB Quantam AtlasII
drive. Up to this point the system appears to be stable and I have had no
hardware problems. The motherboard has 2 ISA, 4 PCI, and 1 AGP slot, and the BX
chipset. The P2B-DS model has onboard scsi if that's what you're looking for. I
hope this is some help.
