Thunderbird 750
Coolermaster cooler
Adaptec AHA2940AU (ultra)
2 x Infineon SDRAM 128 MB 133 / 2-2-2
ELSA Erazor x2 (Geforce256, DDR)
Plextor 40x CD-Rom SCSI
Yamaha 16/6/2 Burner SCSI
Seagate 8 GB DAT streamer
IBM Deskstar 75GXP, 30 GB 7200/UDMA100
CL SB Live player
D-Link DFE530-TX NIC
Logitech Cordless Mouseman pro
DTK 300Watt PS
uuuh...that´s it
W2k pro
VIA 4in1 x.25a
Creative Liveware3
Office 2k premium
Visual Studio 6.0 prof.
SQL 7.0 Client
Logitech Mouseware 9.0
Nvidia drivers 6.18
System seemed a bit unstable, hung three times during W2k setup - funny.
Creative Liveware3 always tells me by an icon in the taskbar, there are new drivers / upgrades and when i go to 'update now' i get an error
And 3D apps let me crash, 3Dmark within 2 minutes, even 3d screensavers. Haven´t tried something else of that kind yet
I tried all memory settings, 100/2, 133/2, 100/3, 133/3, still...not crappy, but a little bit unstable.
Any ideas about any of my concerns?
Are there some special BIOS settings you would take care of?
What about the new VIA drivers - good or bad remarks?
Thanks for your advice and have fun

Oh,just crashed a few times while copying files, nothing serious;-)
But to be honest... no problems anymore: Going with AOpen AX3S and PIII 733@825 - absolutely flawlessly, no driver probs, no problem at all. Not often seen such a problemless installation (and we build a few thousand systems a year) and it 'feels' like the big brother of the (though fast) Thunderbird - brutal force was my first thought when I started working with it. Amazing!
It´s a shame that a good CPU like Athlon has such a lot of crap around to sit in - nothing but probs with VIA!
Have fun
