[Qwest]

i currently have an athlon 1.4 on a epox 8k7a with 512 of pc 2100 ram. i have an original nforce 420d board lying around. will i see any performance gains by switching to the nforce board? thanks.

Those two boards only support the 100-133 fsb Athlon XP's. The highest they should go to is Athlon XP 2600+ (133 fsb)
They are about equal.

Nforce has integrated GPU (1 less worry about compatability)
5.1 sound and can be decoded to a REAL 5.1 speaker set up.
Better PCI latency (lower) than VIA's KT266A southbridge offers
It CAN be OVERCLOCKED to 166 FSB with PC3200 DDR RAM, just be careful
Dual Channel memory (thats arguable, but they made it that way, so I'm not complaining)

well, i already use my trusty acoustic edge for 5.1 sound and i'm pretty happy with my radeon 64ddr vivo for right now. thanks for responding.
