AllHw has posted a Pentium III motherboard compendium.
IBM said today that "plug and play" features of Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, pre-loaded on IBM ThinkPad notebooks, enable users to easily add hardware options such as scanners, the IBM UltraPort Camera and the IBM Wireless LAN PC Card to their notebook computers without the need to reboot their systems.
Several of the new IBM ThinkPad models, including the recently announced ThinkPad A Series and ThinkPad T Series, feature Windows 2000 Professional. These new product lines are designed to enhance and simplify the mobile computing experience through easy access to IBM help and information via the "ThinkPad button," and new ease-of-use features, including common swappable components and built-in ports for modem and LAN connections. More than two dozen other ThinkPad systems, including the popular ThinkPad i Series, also support Windows 2000 Professional.

VIAHardware has posted a review on the DFI CS65 i815 mainboard. Here´s a clip:
Clocking in at around $130, the DFI CS65 is fairly cheap, as i815s go. Because of their integrated video, however, 815s will never be as inexpensive as their VIA 133A competitors. Despite this, the CS65 is a stable, fully featured board. Quality construction is also apparent, dispersing DFI´s low-end reputation. To anyone looking for a i815 on a budget, I highly recommend DFI´s CS65.Read more

ViaHardware has posted a review on the Tekram K7KX-A motherboard. The K7KX-A is a VIA KX133 based motherboard. They tested its Althon Thunderbird performance against a MSI K7Pro (AMD Irongate) and a Asus A7V (KT133 Duron). Here is a snip:
One of the limits of the KX133 chipset is its failure to run correctly with the Slot A Athlon Thunderbird. Most users report no problems until you start reaching the 800mhz mark on the KX133. This was the case in our testing. The TBird would not even post at 850. The same TBird posted at 1ghz! in a AMD based MSI K7ProRead more
