We migrated from the ASUS line awhile back when they dropped their
PCI/EISA motherboard. We've been using the Tyan 1462. It's a PCI/EISA
dual CPU motherboard. According to their web page, it is using the
Neptune chipset. We've had good luck with them running BSDI and
ship nothing less than a 133mhz. I also have a 133 running NetBSD
for my home machine.
