MSI K7T266 Pro: users opinions needed

[Golio]

Hi guys!
I have to build a new system for a friend, based
on an Athlon Thunderbird 1400 @266.
Since he wants DDR, i think KT266 is a good chipset
solution. The motherboard we have seen for
this system: the MSI K7T266 PRO.

Is anyone have ever use it? What
do u think about it? Is it easy to build?

The case choosen is a 300 W power supply case.
Is it ok? or have we to choose a case with
more power?

Keep in mind that typycal applications are business,
gaming, CDwriting and DVD reading. No overclocking is
needed.

For information, the global system:
Athlon ThB 1400 @266
128 MB (or more) DDR PC2100 or PC1600... prices will say..
ATI Radeon 32 SDR TV
TraxData CD Writer
Samsung DVD
Elsa Modem 56K PCI card
SB compatible audio PCI card

Thanx a lot
Nico

Wait, isn't the Pro the new one with the KT-266A chipset? I may be wrong.

Oh and GO WITH PC2100!!!!

No, the MSI KT266a is called the Pro2.
