| 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. |
