that's what i bought: a Barton 2500+ & a Soyo Dragon KT400 Ultra Black mobo.
unfortunately, i ran into an obscure incompatibility between these items
& my 8x AGP card when i tried to run with FSB = 166 MHz .
a lengthy e-correspondence with Greg Meyer & Soyo support led me
to return the mobo for attention & the latest news via the dealer is
that these mobos have been recalled by Soyo & wb replaced.
so i'm currently on hold, which doesn't matter a lot,
as my present box has stopped making painful noises (one of Murphy's laws)
& i'm not intending to migrate anyway till Mdk 9.2 comes out next month.

any other thoughts or comments are welcome.
