Probably a cheap motherboard.

I personally dont like the slot, but if you read the sight its got the specs on the products, maybe you should read a little before you post retarded comments like that junior

It is a cheap motherboard. Tiger uses Soyo motherboards, which are pretty good quality, but this particular model (the K7VIA) can be found on Pricewatch for $65!

A 750 MHz Slot-A Athlon goes for about $85 and you can pick up a cheap cooling fan like the ones Tiger sends out for $10.

So the total street price of this bundle is $65 + $85 + $10 = $160. So you'll only save about $10 by going with this bundle. Tiger Direct has a horrible reputation; it is definately not worth saving $10 to order from them!

In addition, this combo = zero upgradability since all current/future AMD processors will be socket-based. It's well worth the extra money to buy a Socket-A Duron or T-Bird, a MSI K7T Pro2a motherboard, and a decent HSF (Taisol makes a pretty good one that sells for around $15).

Someone pointed out in this thread that you can get a Duron 700, MSI K7T Pro2a, and a crome orb for $193 shipped. The Duron 700 should make it to 900-1100MHz quite easily 🙂

I have had bad experience with Tiger in the past. The mobo/celeron combo I received from the about two years ago wasn't that great, and when I wanted to upgrade the CPU, I couldn't.

If you wait two years to upgrade your CPU, 90% of the time you won't be able to just slap the latest and greatest processor in your motherboard. That's not the fault of the company you bought the product from, that's your fault for not knowing enough about computer hardware to understand that. Of course I just wrote that without any idea of the specifics of your system, so the comment may not apply to you 🙂
