What's a good upgrade for Soyo 6ba+100?

[mricks86]

I have been using my trusty Soyo 6ba+100 for awhile (great board) but I'm thinking about upgrading and was wondering about recommendations. I would prefer to stay with a board that will still enable me to use my socket 370 Celery 900 (currently in a slotket to fit the Soyo) but I really have no clue what a good performing, stable, possibly overclockable replacement board would be. Any input would be appreciated!

Thanks.

What's your purpose of this upgrading? Anything you want but your current board cannot do?

I've been having trouble installing a newer vid card (Geforce2 GTS-V) and some "experts" have suggested it might be my aging mobo that is the problem. I like the board a lot, (even though the Highpoint controller gave me a little trouble when installing Win2k), but Soyo has not had a Bios revision for this board in 2 years. I was just curious to see if anyone out there would have a recommendation for a faster, more updated board, that will be ATA 100 and will work with my Celery 900. (I've been able to get my vid card working in a different machine with a different BX board, so I know it does work)
Just curious what people out there use and like.

For what it's worth I don't think your mobo should have any problem with a GF2-GTS-V. I used a GF2-GTS for over a year, and now a GF3ti200 on a Soyo 6BA+IV with no problem. I use a CuMine 900 in mine, comparable to your Celeron, and frankly I don't feel it is worth my upgrading to a replacement mobo without swapping out the CPU and RAM as well.

Thanks for the input because I do like my mobo and it's nice to know you were able to get pretty much the same configuration to work as myself. Maybe I'll just have to break down and get a new vid card instead of a new motherboard!
