Hey folks, There's gotta be someone on this list who is the type of geek that is always up-to-date on the latest north bridges, south bridges, BIOSes, motherboards, RAM, etc. I'm looking at getting a new barebones system and I'm wondering what the latest scoop on all the above is. Last time I got up to speed on this ASUS, and ABIT were the must-have motherboard brands, with some chipset that I can't remember, and you totally had to avoid some other new intel chipset, and the DDR vs. Rambus debate was just flaring up. What's the scoop today? In particular, I'm seeing some bargain boards with some VIA chipsets and some Asus motherboad with the SiS 648 on the north bridge and SiS 963L on the South Bridge. Oh, and what's up with these half-megawatt power supplies? Do I need to update my circuit breakers before I bring one of these monsters home?
