Rick Posted November 4, 2001 Share Posted November 4, 2001 Make sure you get the new KT266 board. Don't get confused with the one that came out in April...the new one was released in September and is night and day compared to the old. From what I have read, that chipset is the fastest out there.

Rick Posted November 5, 2001 Share Posted November 5, 2001 AMB that is one awesome setup you did there! Whew...he should be set for awhile! I just upgraded but didn't quite have the money or patience to wait for anybody to make a board with KT266A Chipset. I feel cheated...then again I always do because my computers are always outdated about two months after I buy them!:cry Rick:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
