LOL LOL

you're going with all that fancy stuff, then getting a 15 inch monitor! HAHAHAHA talk about putting a GF3 to waste. NO smaller than 19 with that baby.

Also, I would wait and get the Asus A7V266 instead of the A7M266.

hehe...yeah, don't spend all that money on a geforce3 if you're only gonna get a 15" monitor
(cmon man, make room for a nice 19"er, your eyes will never forgive you if don't)

You're getting an AMD 1.4ghz T-Bird and putting it on a superior motherboard. The chipset would probably run better if you got a ASUS A7V133, but if you want to spend all that money, have fun :)

for 15 inch monitor...
you don't need anything fancy.

i'd get a radeon 32mb LE with TV out. for 80 from newegg.
that's more than sufficient for your 15 inch monitor.

Put your monitor on a box if you have to, just don't get that damn 15&quot; for the love of god
