Santilli, If you want cheap Intel kit, IMO you should try an SIS chipset with a Celeron. The Asus TUSI-M is one of the best. I have sold 100 or so these recently with a 4% failure rate. It also supports the latest 0.13 Micron Celerons and is about £50 trade in the UK. In the US it will be...

The chip is more commonly known as the VIA C3. It is Socket 370 compatible running at 1.7/1.8V. It has a crappy floating point unit but it is very cheap.

Suzi is from an animal shelter as well. She is very well behaved and very clever, but she gets bored easily and then decides to embark an a wind-up with us. She eats off of anything including your hand or plate, but her best trick is with a glass of milk. If it is too small for her to get her...

I am so glad that others operate in the same way as I do when it comes to selecting hardware. I always thought that 'gut feeling' was a little bit lacking in professional credibility! Any board maker who crosses me had better watch out, cos I don't forget easily...... :evil:

Oh dear!

Our cat Suzi is sat on my lap watching me type at this very moment. She keeps trying to bat at the lights in the middle of the keys (I have one of those MS split keyboards where the LEDs are in the middle of the split). Little so and so......

Tea, The same scenario was applicable with us. The MSI kit was not RMA'ed, it just made us a little nervous!

I should add that the PII was a 2.8V 0.35 sample. It had a very early core.

It is a heat thing IMO. I remember running an unlocked PII233 at 300Mhz once upon a time. It benchmarked faster at 266. The same goes for my Athlon 1900+. With standard cooling, a very mild overclock of 135Mhz FSB gives good results. Any faster and things seem to stutter a little, although...

We just got some Northwood 1.6A and 1.8A P4s in today. They were exactly the same price as the old style Williamette P4s. Same goes for the 0.13 Celeron 1100s......

Hi there Coug, We have tried some MSI KT266A Mobos, but found them to a little less stable than our standards required. I might just give an Nforce one a go though. I will let you know how I get on. ECS=PC Chips, or close to it. I have seen some pretty awful ECS attempts in the past, so...

Oops, excuse the crap spelling above.

I would just like to thank AOL and Microsoft for introducing me to a whole new set of ideas: For the first time in an arguement that I have an opinion about, I want both sides to lose.

We like Asus TUSI-Ms with Celeron 1100 for the low end, (scalable video ram sharing, up to 64 MB if my memory serves me well, and Asus A7N266s for the higher end with Athlon XPs. We have found that cheap £40-£60 AMD integrated Mobos can still be a little troublesome when compered to the TUSI-M...

This thread reminds me of when I first used to read Storagereview. An intelligent, well reasoned and interesting argument with no jumping up and down and waving of hands. Lovely...... On the subject of the discussion, I too have finally succumbed to AMD. It seems that since the XP came out...
