<snip> I would suggest taking a look at the ABIT motherboards. I've put together five systems based on the IT5H, and they all work flawlessly. Check out Tom's Hardware Page for a rave review - you can pick them up for about $135 or so with 512k pipeline cache. The key here is that the board is JUMPERLESS. All settings are done in the bios, including bus speed, voltages, etc. Changing cpus, mucking about with overclocking and so on are a breeze. http://www.abit.com.tw Dean Carpenter deano isat areyes dot com 94TT :) Areyes, Inc. deano isalsoat netaxis dot com "No matter where you go, there you are" sayeth Buckaroo, across the Eighth Dimension -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
