Its not a bad chip, cheap and up to the task.
I got mine a few days ago and was eager to boot her up on my new rig. Lets just say i noticed the difference from my old p4 1.5 to my new athlon in just one round of RtCW (Gun U Down up top!!!!)
I got my MoBO for $180cdn from
http://www.Eglobalonline.com ( Canadian Dealer ) not a bad price considering the VIA Kt333 breaks the 200$ range and you get the same proformance.
Its a great MoBo, even better if your building your first rig and dont have all kinds of $$$ to spend. It comes with a 5.1 nVidia Soundstorm sondcard (keeps up to the audigyx-gamer) and an intergrated nVidia Geforce 4 mx440.
