Fasttrak33 -- what should I upgrade?

[CarlosW]

I was just thinking of buying one of the new RAID motherboards (ABIT BX133 or SOYO 6BA+100).
The fact is that I've read some reviews about problem with AGP timing (pushing the BX chip to 133Mhz increases AGP speed from 66MHz to 89MHz). Since I got a Marvel G400 I'm concerned about compatibility issues.
Did anybody test one of those Mobos with a matrox capture card.
How can I test if it's ok? I can't get an evaluation unit of those motherboards
Thank you

As a general rule I'd keep with something like the Asus CUBX that won't OC the AGP bus. Stability is more important that the very slight speed gain you get. Given a new BIOS you could use about any PIII that supports a 100mhz bus.
