Ok, here's the deal. I have to upgrade my box now, I sold my p3 600e @150 fsb on a abit be6-2 mb to my old man. Im limping on a p3-450@558 on an asus p3v4x now that is ordinarily my secondary system. I've decided to try a AMD chip again. I was way impressed with amd way back in the 486 days, the k5, and k6 chips were simply awesome in their day, and the k6-233 was an absolute triumph, but amd lost my confidence with the pathetic performance of the k6-2 line of chips.. i jumped ship about the time of the 300a to 450 overclock, and have bought intel ever since.(lol, and I upgrade a LOT... prob over 2 doz procs since the first 386/16 I had.)
Here's what I've come up with.
Asus A7v kt133 m/b
Thunderbird 1 ghz cpu
going to go ahead and order 2 256 megs stalks of sdram since its so cheap... yes I use Win2k.
I think I'm going to try a 64meg radeon vivo. (I have been running Nvidia cards since the TNT, all the way to my present geforce1 ddr 32 megger, which I'm going to transfer to secondary system, replacing a Viper 550 tnt.)
Any comments?
I would love to be able to wait for the new ddr boards, or even for kt133a to become available, but.. then again, it might be just as wise to let a second generation of these new boards to come out...
