Take a serious look at the Soyo Dragon Plus (SY-K7V Dragon Plus) with the KT266A Chipset. This MOBO has the socket A for any of the newest and fastest Athlons, including the XP. It uses DDR memory, and has "kick ass" speed (266 FSB). And, if you are so inclined to over clock, this guy will take it. Just one board among many to check out. Someone else can give you their take on Video cards. They all work well with the aforementioned board.... J. Craig Woods UNIX/NT SA -Art is the illusion of spontaneity-
