A simple warning to all those of you out there which seem think that an SMP system would be nice and are looking at the ASUS A7M266-D, don't buy it. Look around and you will fine that nearly no one has been able to get WindowsXp to operate on it with a Geforce3 Video card. It makes no diffrence what driver release of other driver is installed it simply does not work and ASUS has been unwilling to admit to the problem or mention when we can see if fixed. Do not end up like me with a great system (specs below) which you can only use in 2D.
PS. many people say it works with a GF2, just not any GF3.
