It's top of my list for any new Athlon systems, just a shame I'm not planning any major purchases...Meet Jasmine.

As soon as one is awailable I'll get one :-)If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

Well, going from a Via chipset to SiS makes all the difference, I've had zero problems with my Radeon 9700pro on the 735 chipset. The onboard LAN is even pretty nice, and Linux supported. I will never, ever, touch a Via chipset again. (My K7T Turbo lived for 2 months and stopped booting)Originally posted by Nowhere
ehhh...who cares about ddr when all you get is ~20% performance (well many actually, but not me ;P). but msi indeed is ok (but in form of K7T Turbo 2 here). It's cheaper to buy a new cpu I guess then to go mobo+new (and not cheap) memory

DDR alone is not enough. It is just one component of many that must be faster. Just like going from 2 to 3 ghz does not give you a 50% increase without increasing the speed of the rest of your system. THis does not mean you stick with normal SDRAM or no matter what else you get you machine will only get so much faster.Originally posted by Nowhere

the maddman, I agree VIA isn't doing the best chipsets in the world, but the late revisions of kt133a (found in mine k7t turbo2) are not making any problems (from my experience). Thought I wouldn't touch their ddr chipsets for sure...
And you must have bud luck with your board. Besides if mine eventually fail (and service won't find comparable) I can go for Asus with AMD761 (found it really cheap in one place) for example...but as long as with my system everything is ok, I'm considering all the trouble with changing mobo, reinstalling system (wchich is in perfect state now) and all this for not so much performance gain a waste of time.
High_Jumbllama, could you please repeat your last sentence (said another way)? Don't know why exactly, but english interpreter inside my skull went nuts when I've read that
