Thanks for the response so far. Based on what I am reading the AMD Athlon has come a long way from the AMD K6-2 which I was so disappointed with. Just to clairfy $$$ wise... My current TYAN board will take the 1GHz Pentium 3 Chip. I can get one for around $230 right now I just put together the...

I am considering building a new PC around the Athlon CPU. I currently have an Intel Pentium 3 / 533 CPU. I was VERY disapointed with the AMD K6-2 chip I had. My question, should I just upgrade my CPU, get up into the 1 GHz range with an Intel CPU or should I go with an Athlon based CPU system...

Thanks for the link! I did not find the results to be that impressive. Anyone else like what they saw ? I think I'll wait and see what the Asus A7V266 can do.

Speaking of RAM prices... $69.00 256MB PC133 SDRAM @ www.tigerdirect.com (Not sure what brand you will get though... I have seen PNY and Kingston from them) How do you feel the Asus A7V133 compares with the Abit KT7A-RAID ?

I need your help deciding on a motherboard. I am going to take the plunge and switch from Intel to AMD. I upgrade my machine once a year. My current machine, an Intel P3-533 on a TYAN 1854 board is not that impressive to me. After reading every review I could find, I still find myself wondering...
