I little buying advice

Because of the new price drop in AMD chips I am going to build a system with a 1.1 ghz athlon. What mobo should I use with it. I was thinking a should use that abit one. How far do you think I could overclock it. If I did do you think a geforce MX can take the overclocking. Dont I have to disable some option is BIOS to make the load on the video card less. Thanks

I've been using Abit for years... And I like to say they never failed on me, but they have... And their RMA program is terrible... $25 no matter what...

Anyway, I've been thinking of getting the Thunderbird 1.2G myself, and the board that seems to stand out is the MSI K7T Pro2A... It got some good Reviews by Anandtech.

It will be my choice when I pick up a Motherboard...

Tom Just did a review on Heat Sync's, and he seemed to like the Swiftech MC370-0A the best.

I have my Geforce 2(Same processor as the MX) and it works great @ 115, which I'm running at now, you might need to adjust the AGP divider in your Bios to 2/3 from 1/1.

Hope this helps.
