I'm getting anxious...
My Voodoo3 3000 has issues (Screen corruption untill the PC is on for ~30mins & I change the resolution) AND it doesn't support dual CPU mode in Quake3. I plan on moving all "bloating" multimedia devices out of my main machine & into this dual CPU WindowsXP machine (I don't need to dedicate my most powerful systems to TV-OUT DVD playing). The MX400+P.C. will kill much more than 2 birds! I do have a few questions:
Although the MX is slow, will an old 440BX motherboard be able to take advantage of it's capabilities? (ie, the motherboard won't be the bottleneck will it?)
How can I tell if it's running in AGP2x mode?
Will the MX400 overclock more easily than the MX200?
I want to go with the VisionTek model, but does the Compro model happen to have any plusses? (ie, better rated memory for easier O/Cing)
How much will the bundle be?
And first and foremost, where can I buy FIRST?

Oh yeah, 1 more question...
Who keeps turning my A.C. off?
No, seriously, I have a VisionTek GeForce3 (Bought the very first day it was available) & I was wondering if it would work with the Personal Cinema. I haven't read anything about ViVo on this card, but it does have a Video Out connector (From what I hear, that's not necessarily the same as a Video In Video Out connector). Although all nVidia GeForce2 & 3 GPUs are compatible, I doubt my card is :(

Yes I would like to know a bit more about the personal cinema as well. I have a GTS and I'm chomping at the bit on whether or not I can attach this to my ELSA Gladiac
