On then latest issue of the greek "RAM" magazine they review an Athlon on an Asus K7M mb! Didn't asus anounce they won't produce athlon boards?
Anyway here's what they say about the mainboard (translated from greek)
"The slot A motherboard he tested athlon with was Asus' K7M. The FSB speed is at 100MHz while the chipset is manufactured by VIA. It also has an on board sound card, (VIA PCI audio controller) 3 DIMM slots, an AGP slot, four PCI and one ISA (shared) as well as an AMR slot. It was accompanied with drivers for DOS, Winodws 3.1/9x/NT4/2000, O/S2, NetWare, SCO UNIX and Linux. The motherboard is a sample the company CTC supplied us.
Note that the motherboard is brand new (you want find it at the company's web site) and AMD does not include it in the Athlon recommended motherboards list. (www1.amd.com/athlon/mbl)"
Anyway in the same mag they have an G400 16MB singlehead review which outperforms a voodoo3 3000. Here are some benchmarks:
Expendable
640x480 800x600 1024x768
Matrox_______49________49__________46
Voodoo3______48________47__________46
