If you can get a good price on rambus, I would go for an abit th7-II. I use an epox 4sda+ with pc2100 running at 166fsb, and it gives me error messages about once a week. I use a ddram setup, cause I had some leftover ddram and want to try the hammer when it comes out. If you can wait about 1 month, the P4 should come down in price at least 25%.

Why the big price drop on p4s? Won't AMDs follow suit to stay in the running?
