sorry to hear that mate. I feel your pain. I once did the same thing and the freaking RMA mobo takes forever to come. The CPU I had to buy new one. But like other are saying get the XP1600 and OC it is better. Or wait till May and get the cheapest T-bred.
On the positive side you will have the 0.13um athlon ;)
 
It will work out but its worrying!

I mean the amount of $ I spent on this rig was so I wouldn't have to splash out any more $ but well here I am!!

Funny thing was I don't think the CPU was my fault, I mean it was on its last legs anyway. (Cracks all around the core.:eek: )

A T-Bred would be nice but the XP's will be cheaper....
 
If I have not heard wrong the first T-bred will be the XP1800 at 0.13um and price around $113USD so it is not much more expensive than the XP1600 at $100USD
 
Cool,

At the mo I'm waiting for the RMA on my 20GB Seagate and Jetway Mobo, I should get over $100 for the pair (Mobo is AGP 4x, ATA 100 supports up to 1.2Ghz only 100FSB though...) so if and when I RMA them (the companys are so slow) I can raise some $$$!!
 
EPoX Motherboards are great.

Although when i've seen people try to Add H2O, And it gives you a FF Sign, and then it just fries the board.

Same happened to me, when i added a Heatsink

Ran for about 5 minutes, then just i restarted and said FF.

mine was watercooled for 2 months, it ran like a champ.
unfortunately i cut a trace w/ the screwdriver by the IC.
it still runs fine, but the volt mod stopped working, so i had to get a new board. but its sitting in my closet waiting for another box:)
