    what abou VIA cpu's their low power but slow, how do these bench. a 400mhz G3 is about 5w-7w compared to a p2 @30w+ and faster.

    4 Gigahertz 16 bit CPU (Hypothetical)

    16bit CPU can only address 8 megabytes of ram me thinks, so dumb question. the big reason for 64 bit is to address more ram.

    What Nforce2 board to get?????

    Biostar M7NCG, but dual channel is hardly worth the trouble. see this -http://www.amdmb.com/article-display.php?ArticleID=244 at best its a 5% performance increase because of the FSB bottleneck, but it does immensly help out board with the built in graphics.

    Here is a challenge: Need to network 2 buildings under difficult conditions.

    couldn't you use old school 10B2 coaxial for the long run just dig a trench its tough stuff? be cheap spec is around 590 ft for a then you might need two computers at each end with 2 nics to transfer from 10/100 to 10B2 cards and cable would be cheap.

    Maxtor Atlas 73GB SCSI Hard Drive, 10K RPM, 8MB Cache $142.44 Shipped

    may be a better deal to get 2 50G seagates from the same place and RAID them for a few more dollars.

    Your ram does not have to equal the FSB in order for something to "Work" if a board can run a 166FSB it is likely capable of running this processor without changing multipliers.

    Sure depends on your board, can you set the ram to 100mhz you can run ram slower than the FSB its just not optimal.
