K6-300 + G400MAX
My MAX, while looking great, runs things pretty slowly. I assume that when I get a Athlon 600 it will make a much bigger difference, right? Speaking of Athlons, does anybody have a suggestion as to which board I should get? Thanks

My choice *now* would be the Asus K7M. But I would wait for the new VIA K7 Chipset, with AGPx4 suport, to be launched. -
You should see a hell of a noticeable difference when you go to the Athlon.
The number one choice at this time seems to be the MSI(?) board with the Asus being next. Stay away from the FIC board at this time. Even though some do have it working I hear it is more trouble than it's worth.
I also agree with Nuno that if you can, wait a little while longer. The boards to be released later this year will contain features that the new breed of video cards will be able to take advantage of. If your motherboard can handle it why not buy a K6-2/500. They are only about $90 at this time.
