I am back after mobo died

[Intercept]

Well sorry not been around, me mobo died on me and I had too wait a few days for a new one. Bought the AsusA7V8X Gold edition with all the trimmings.

p.s worth checking this board out, Toms Hardware voted it as the no 1 board to have if you own an (XP2600+ with 333fsb)

This was on the box, so I guess Tom is raking in loads of cash. How much would ASUS have paid for the the rights too stick that on their box?? The mind boggles

curious

XP 2600, are you going to overclock?
I don't know if 'I' will try. 2400 is enough but may as well utilize 333.

Congrats Intercept!

I just help setup an identical system for a friend.... and wow is it fast. He also has an ATI 9800 and Corsair RAM.... boy does this baby scream!

Interesting. i am thinking of getting my son a new mobo and cpu + memory if he gets past his exams at uni. (I'm not THAT old by the way - I was quite young when he was born !) I'll keep this in mind.
Even so, I suppose the difference in mobo's these days are minimal surely ?
