I've have a several-year-old Micron 667mhz Millennia MAX GS that I am currently using as my local development server at home. Though it still <pun>serves</pun> me faithfully, it struggles under the load of cfmx and msde. I am also considering an install of php and mysql. I would like to invest a bit into a good motherboard and processor replacement and start with a clean install. I currently have 768MB of ram, 2 256meg and 1 128 meg sticks of pc-133, which I would like to carry over to the new set-up to keep the upgrade cost low. I am also open to investing in half gig of newer ram, and scrapping the old stuff. Maybe another half gig down the line. I am also open to both intel and amd solutions. My current play/code pc is home built, oc'ed amd 2200+ w/ 1 512meg 3500 ram, so I am comfortable with installing the components. I think I will only need to touch the motherboard, cpu and power supply. I've looked at dual processor boards, but they seem a bit pricey. I think I can get more bang for the buck for a single, older athalon or intel chip. However, it would be fun to set up a dual processor system for the first time. I will probably have to upgrade the power supply as well, as the current one is only a 250W. So that adds $50 or so to the upgrade, perhaps more if I go with a dual processor setup. What would you recommend for a good mother board and cpu combo in the $200-350 range? It only needs a pci slot for a lan card(even better an integrated lan port), and support for Ultra ATA 133. Integrated video would be ever better, I can get the whole system down to one component for motherboard, network, and video. Any suggestions are welcome. Links to your preferred setup on a vendor's website are even better. ;) t/ Matt
