My next configuration (Help me)

Currently I have the good Abit BF6 and Celeron 300 overcloked at 450Mhz since 2 years. Now I want to buy this:

Abit BX133-RAID
Pentium III 700Mhz

It's a good buy? or I need to buy a i815e chipset (like ABIT SE6).

And If I overclock at 875Mhz or 933Mhz, my Creativelabs Tnt-2 ULTRA works fine? (7x133Mhz) or I need to buy any GF256 DDR?

Thanks to help me to choose the best config.


 
I think the best buy for you would be a celemine or if you prefer to buy a new mobo get a thunderbird or even cheaper duron(wich is 95% as good as p3) and you can o/c it to 900-1 gig.I dont think there is any real reason to get a p3 now a socket a mobo wil last alot longer because mustang and the other new coreswil be compatible with your socket a mobo.
 
If you want to stay intel, stick with your BF6, there's no sense in upgrading from a BX mobo to another BX mobo, esp when you have the BF6, which is already quite a decent BX mobo. If you want to go cheap, a Celeron 533 or 566 cannot be beat if you can get them. For performance, a P3-700 cB0 sounds like a good choice.
However, if you want to upgrade to a new system, go AMD all the way.
 
actually

MOST CL TNT2ultras will do 89MHz AGP so there is no need to worry

i also say there is NO point of getting another BX mobo
your BF6 will handle the 700E at 933 easily
 
bf6 is a great overclocker. Get a celermine instead of the p3, save the $$$$ and buy at Geforce2mx, and dump that tnt2, its gonna hold back a p3 big time...

i'd rather have say a celermine @ 950 with a geforce DDR than a p3-933 with a tnt2 cause you're gonna get better frame rates with the celermine.

just my opinion.

if you got the cash, get a geforce2 and a p3 @933, that would kick much arse
 
700E arent that $ these days anymore

if the C566 wont overclock to 850/100+
you pretty much stuffed

yep i agree you need new video card soon, especially if u plan to play 1024/32bit+
if you dont, your tnt2ultra will be alright
