~~~Once upon a time, many, many moons ago, a gathering of folks who are much wiser than you or me, created the computer. Shortly thereafter (a couple of days or so I think...), The fine folks at id created Quake. Suddenly for millions of humans, life now had meaning. Many people, who's lives could best be described as uneventful, and had probably been contemplating ending their existence, now were no longer doing so. Millions of these folks soon got down on their hands and knees to beg their mommy's and daddy's to purchase home computers for them, so that they too might take part in the fragging fun. This is what really started the computer revolution, as we know it. As these people acquired their systems, and partook in the fragging festivities, joy and happiness spread across the land. The human race had entered a new period of prosperity, the likes of which had never been seen in all of recorded history (more or less...).

If you can wait until SiS 735 ddr boards become available this may be best as they usually top the benchmarks. If not then go for a via kt266 board, such as the Asus A7V266 which isn't out yet but due soon and should be a very good board when available.

Having used the NVidia crush chipset on a reference design I must state that it is a vast improvement over current chipsets - the graphics onboard anhiliate a normal GF2MX as well - about the same as a GF2GTS.

I know that I use an 8K7A at the moment =- but I jusrt cannot wait for NForce 22 to become available.

here try this. You can hook in your trusty geforce3 and all other things that make life nice, up to 1.5 ghz and this is what kills people 60$$. Yes boys and girls it is an Amptron. Most people say why buy this $#!t but this one is special. Come lookie.
