i was impressed with SiS 7xx chipsets but i have replaced almost all of them within a year the via chipsets are doing a little better but i have replaced two kt133x boards in the last year - i think all of the drivers issues have been resolved i bought some dx34 mobos for under $70, found cheap 10k and 15k scsis on ebay along with 512MB ECC for $60 each, 1k P IIIs are around $100 here. i really like the results for normal workstation and server use - game playing is another matter. cheap cmedia 5.1 sound cards work as well as (if not better) than sb if you have a lot of pc133 memory and k7s arround, there are lots of kt133 mobos around for $50 and less - use kt266 if you have DDR against my suppliers advice i bought several ECSUSA (who makes boards for PCChips)., he was right - DFI and MSI have been flawless if not quite stellar in performance jim tarvid
