Suggestions for dual 370 mobo to replace VP6

[Zemmekkis]

So my VP6 is gone. I just sent a msg to possibly have it repaired. Not sure it is the badcap problem as nothign is bulging. Just general instability.

I want to buy a new motherboard. Something less than 150 that hopefully all my old components will work in. Any suggestions?

there are no skt 370 boards being made at this time.
a recap job is your best bet.
even a nos vp6 will need recapping.
i have done 3 that were old stock but the scope shoed noise on vcore.

I have to agree. A recapping would be your best bet if your VP6 isn't destroyed. The only alternatives to the VP6 are the MSI 694D Pro and the Supermicro P3TDDE. The P3TDDE also supports Tualatin CPU's. The MSI 694D is the same chipset as the VP6, but was also plagued with bad caps like the VP6.

I'd stick with the VP6, just have it recapped.

So is the Supermicro P3TDDE known to have bad capacitors? It just sorta shocks me newer VP6s would still have the same problem with the capacitors (or any other motherboards for that matter)

any sm boards with green nrsy caps are suspects.
its not if but when :!:

The P3TDDE doesn't have the old NSRY caps like the 370DL3 & 370DLE etc... They have all Genuine Sanyo's. I have one, great board!
