Wink Which MoBo to choose? CUSL2 or TUSL2?


I am replacing my old MoBo, and would appreciate someone's expertise on recommending a board. I have an Intel P3 800EB Coppermine CPU. Which of these boards would be better for me, the CUSL2, or TUSL2? Or would another board be better suited for me? I am not into overclocking. I just want stability. Hope someone can help. Thanx....

To say about them shortly:is better to take CUSL2 for PIII coppermine cpus (as yours) and TUSL2 for Tualantin Celeron and P3.
If you`re planning on a future cpu upgrade (as Tualantin Celerons are actually Pentium III Tualantin and cheap) then definetely take a TUSL2 (anyway it isn`t possible to run a Tualantin in a CUSL2 -at least without a modification).
I would think again the possibility of a cpu upgrade and took TUSL2 even if I didn`t want to upgrade cpu right now.

Welcome Sundance.
Go with the TUSL2. It will give you everything the CUSL2 will offer, plus the ability to upgrade to a Tualatin processor in the future. I have used both and they are very good motherboards.

get the TUSL2, its pretty much the same as the CUSL2, but it supports the newer Tualatin procesers, as well as the coppermine CPU's.
