    DDR 333 512MB PC2700 by Samsung for 141.48 shipped!

    eVGA GeFORCE2 Ultra 64MB 4ns W/TV Out & DVI (Retail Box) $99 Hot or Not?

    Not really that hot of a deal, more geforce 3's are getting phased out, hell a geforce 4 mx is better than this plus your looking at Tomshardware benchmarks the word fishy doesn't even begin to explain these graphs. Never trust toms

    Epox 8KA+ vs. Iwill XP-333-R

    I would go with the Epox. Why? Sure its a VIA chipset but I'd take it over the ALi one in the Iwill Performance, at default levels the Epox is better Stability, too many horror stories from the Iwill board ++Performance, sure you have the option to overclock your FSB on the IWill to...
