hello all,
I'm thinking again about tweaking. Currently running ECS k7s5a w/duron 1.1Ghz and 256 DDR and considering Soyo SY-KT333 w/XP 2000+ combo for $129. I have been unable to acheive the elusive "0" dropped frames on the Mill G400 DH 32Mb, but not much of a windows tweaker, software bad.
I love the card, my first and only PC recording card, and have tried to build a few systems around it, swapping it in/out of different configs, but I can't seem to get things just right. I actually had luck with my first self build system, thanks much to this forum, based on abit' be-6 r2 and aureal vortex BA(bad ass) sound but never acheived the mythological "0" dropped frames. I've come close with the ECS/ Duron combo and on board sound, put the aureal card in the wife's rebuild of the abit, but still can't seem to get everything jiving.
I had been running 512 Mb PC133 with the ECS/Duron combo and still getting frame drops repeatedly at about 1/1000 or worse. Switched up to 256Mb DDR for memory to begin the slow process, money-wise, of building the next level up.
Should I go for door #1 and the ECS K7s5a/XP 2000+ for $99 or the Soyo sy-kt300/XP 2000+ for $129 behind door #2?
The windows reference was regarding the fact that windows seems to have to handle sooo many different hardware compatibilities or lack of, and Apple has the luxury of dictating hardware demands. Should I buy an IMac? or go for door #2 ?
Help me out

). This will work with MSPro 7 like you've never seen anything. I'm told the best m/b available for this may be the Intel D845PEBT2 or the MSI 845PMaxMS-6580 v2.
