I was referring *specifically* to the combination of Athlon/x motherboard/W2K. And PRECISELY MY POINT - dear oh dear, some Athlon chipsets (KT133A, say) don't get on with W2K. I have an Athalon 1.33 and a KT133A motherboard running W2K. Also running a load of USB SCSI

I'm using a PIII 800 with 768 MB and a Matrox G400 Dual Head under Win98SE. It's a year and a half or so old now, and I'm still very happy with it. If I was building a new one now, I'd do a gigahertz processor with 1 gig of the fastest RAM I could find, a G500 card and maybe one of those new
