Ok, so who is planning on getting this?

Nowhere,

I believe you. The vortex was good. Wanna have problems? Drop an original SB Live! on that board, along with an original ATI Radeon card. THEN you'll see some fireworks!

Wombat (and to all speaking about ddr), but there's one thing system with sdr can do better: latency. I know, I know, there're also cl2 ddr, but majority of people around me use much worse memory. Not to mention that I have 512mb of high quality sdram for the price of cheap 256 mb ddr...

Not entirely true.

Most branded (sammy, crucial/micron, etc) DDR rating CL-2.5 can actually do CL-2. My Crucial DDR2100 can do 300mhz at CL-2!!

As of the recent DDR price drop, you can actually get a stick of 256mb 2100 at about 1/10 more the price of 256mb PC133. And 2700 is also very cheap now too. See Crucial official website.

The only SDR worth getting now is the OCZ PC166... for overclocking

Gurm, what do you mean - was?! It still is!! (especially with some game using a3d 2.0 - too bad that the new ones doesn't use this technology...).
btw, I thought that vortex cards were as problematic as live on kt133; oh well, I guess if that's not true I should be happy.

WyWyWyWy, I was more reffering to the situation in place where I live: ddr is ~200% the price of sdr and almost everybody has no name's.
