I changed my AGP to 128 from 64 and gained 300 in 3d20001. Now I didn't figure it to increase that much. Got me wondering. I went from 7998 to 8314. Hey I don't know but I am not complaining. Darren

Was wondering if any one could point me in the right direction to a basic guide on O/C . Especially a new one with info on the Athlonxp series and Kt266a chipset. Thanks darren

I just ordered one as well , not into o/c just want a good stable board. Will post in a few days with some benchmarks. XP 1700 Radeon 8500 512 mb DDR Darren
