Seems early revisions of the some 1832's had stability issues, this was fixed in later revs. Is there a reason you are looking at a slot 1 board as opposed to a socket 370? Slots are going by the wayside quite quickly. Since the 1832 has the BX chipset, you'll be limited to a 100MHz system bus. Given the shared bus architecture of the PIII for duals, you'll be doing yourself a big favor if you go with the 133Mhz bus. You don't want those CPUs to get bored waiting for data, now do you? 2cpu.com has lots of relevant information you may wish to look at.
