I bought the board after carefully...
Strengths: The board is well built but details are over looked.
Weakness: Documentation and technical support.
I bought the board after carefully reading the specifications to be sure that it would support two P III 1.13GHz FC-PGA2 Coppermine processors. After many hours of trial and error troubleshooting, I found out that it does not support the Coppermine dual CPU. When installing the CPUs I found that both temperature sensors were bent and had to be straightened to make contact with the CPUs. The...

Previous comments about this...
Strengths: Ideal as an entry level server platform, Ram support to a theoretical 2Gb, Universal Socket 370 CPU support (subject to individual CPU limitations).
Weakness: Via Chipset, noticeably slower in use than a dedicated single CPU mobo when used with just one CPU
Previous comments about this boards compatibility with particular Intel CPU's are slightly misleading. Intel's website has much info regarding which of their CPU's work in dual processor configuration. In short this includes Coppermine PIII's with 256k cache and Tualatin PIII's with 512k cache. Celerons and Tualatin PIII's with 256k cache are not enabled to work in dual processor configuration....

PRO: I like The GA6VTXD because it...
Strengths: 1 )Supports FC-PGA2 , Works OK with one CPU . 2) Has one AGP 2.0 Graphic slot 3) Has 5 PCI slots 4) supports up to 2GB DRAM.
Weakness: 1) The Dual CPU function (2nd CPU)will not support Celeron CPU , The MoBo dual mode only supports the Pentium III that has 512 Kbyte integrated Level 2 cache . 2) AGP 2.0 only supports 1X, 2X .
PRO: I like The GA6VTXD because it has 5 PCI slots; 1 AGP 2.0 slot for my Video Card ; Dual CPU mode and supports up to 2 GB Memory .The MoBo also supports FC-PGA2 (Tualatin CPU). CON: I buy this MoBo , I thought it supports Dual CPU for any kind of Celeron or Pentium III . I was wrong , lots of vendors misleaded their customer by not clarify the Dual Mode of GA6VTXD only supports the Pentium III...

I agree with the previous...
Strengths: Stable...once setup!
Weakness: Labor intensive, pain in the butt!
I agree with the previous reviewer, best I could easily do was P3 1000eb (133fsb & no fcpga2's) ...farmed those out to MSI and Soyo single flipchip2 boards. I got tired of going in setup circles...Gigabyte commands high prices for their boards overall and like the man said ...details are lacking...Yeah, at around a $100+, I would look elsewhere but not PC Chips, worse of worst. I think that is...
