Anyone have the dirt on the Evergreen AMD K6-2 upgrade? I'm running a
P133 also, and have seen the 333-400mhz AMD upgrades for $100-200US w/
BIOS upgrade. And then there's SO MANY motherboards around, I'm having
a difficult time choosing one. With all the graphics cards moving from
PCI to AGP, and ISA being phased out, what should I do? Testimonials
would be great! i.e: The best MB you've used and Linux compatibility.
As much info as I can get b4 I buy.
Thanks!

Good mobo to get: EPoX MVP3 G2. You can get this Super7 board with up to
2mb of cache on it! It also has AGP/5PCI/2ISA(1 shared PCI/ISA) slots.
Check www.pricewatch.com for pricing on it. Other decent boards are the
Gigabyte 5AX(ATX), Gigabyte 5AA(AT), FIC PA-2013(ATX - 2mb cache), FIC
VA-503A(AT - 2mb cache/UDMA66), and Asus P5A(ATX). I guarantee you, buying
a new mobo, case, and processor will cost you less than $200 and you'll
get much better performance.
