Well i finally made up my mind andi am staying with amd but when i get a new mobo i am gonna try to get the athlon 1.4 and this time i am hoping the board has no defects,so if i get the new processor i want to take my old athlon 850 and put it in a another machine.but here are the specs of the computer i am currently runnin.
processor=amd k6-2 300
mobo=butterfly{i have never heard of it}
ram=pny 128 megs
video card=voodoo 3-2000 16 megs
sound card= sound blaster 64awe
modem=generic 56.k
cd/cdr/dvd-2x2x12 acer burner
cd/cdr/dvd-5x creative labs dvd
but that is my brothers old computer that he gave my parents which i borrowed and now is in my room
but since the poressor and mobo are junk i was gonna take the athlon 850 and a new board and put them together a new computer. so that way they have a decent computer.

Depending on if you want DDR or not, the Asus A7V (if you can find it) is a great board, and what I've read about the A7V133 says it's even better.
The top stores in town have been using DFI's Socket A boards in their basic systems because they are stable and fairly fast, not to mention cheaper than Asus or Abit.
I really like my A7V, but I really can only use upto a 1.30GHz T-Bird unless I modify the CPU's bridges, and I mean by cutting them. That is the only downside there. It does have some quirks if you mess around with too many BIOS settings, but it has been a stable board. I've had it for about 10 months now, and it is a solid board.

Well, it seems that I will *finally* be getting my GF2Pro very soon. The vendor the shop ordered the card from screwed up on shipping it. The vendor kept saying it had been shipped (which it hadn't), and then after realizing the screw up is throwing in some RAM to make up for it. The shop gave them the ultimatum: If it's not in by Friday, refund the money on the card, and we'll order elsewhere.
I'm pretty patient, but it's been well over a month since the card was ordered, and this is a ridiculously long time to wait. I don't care what extra's they throw in, because the shop and I just want the card without the BS.
I used to go to skool with the shop guy getting me the card, and he's not trying to screw me. If the card isn't in by this Friday, the vendor gets dropped.

Wow! that's pretty good, 'specially considering it's a PCI card. What resolution you usin', Pimpin?
I've been able to hit 5600+ with the I.S.D., but for some reason I've been getting in the low 5000's. Haven't a clue why it did that all of a sudden. Resolution in benchmark: 1024x768 in 16-bit in 3dmark2k. Same settings in 3dmark2001 were getting 3000+ no sweat. 21.80's used.
I will have the GF2 Pro soon. *drool*

well this thread is dead
bump!
Noooooooooo!
Must...keep...thread...alive!
Anyway, props to the SB Audigy. Schweet card. I don't know how I can ever live without rear speaker output again!
Still don't have my GF2 Pro, and have taken it up with the BBB against the shop. Nearly 5 months, I'm empty-handed, and "It's shipped" is the only response I've gotten. "Show me the card or show me the money!" They don't have it by this friday, they better cough up my money, because my patience just ran out.

I know how you are feeling about the video card because where i got my video card they did the same thing.I waited for 2 months because my geforce 2mx agp died, and they said that i could trade it well i went down there like 30 times and they kept saying they will be in tomorrow well i finally got pissed about it and ust traded my card for the pci version then the next dat for some reason they had my card but i am glad i got the pci version. it runs better than the agp
i guess it's who mad my card but the agp version of it sucked
but i still wish i had an agp video card

Oooh. Too bad about the MX eddie. I'm keeping my in the Imperial Star Destroyer and putting the Pro (if I get it) in the Samurai Pro.
Oh, update: If the Pro isn't in by this Friday, they are going to give me my money for the hardware I traded in.
I'll look around then and go from there.

Well, I got my new board today. The Aopen AK77 Pro. Right now I'm installing XP on it. I had to pick up an IDE controller card so I can keep myself pampered. SIIG ATA100 controller card with the CMD IDE controller. Fine, I thought it would be promise, but after my luck with them, I'm kinda relieved that it's not Promise.
