The system that I gave to Lugod (that has not been set up yet) is a "Micro Star"
board MS-6167 that has a K7-800 processor and SR133 memory.  This is a
fairly good board.  I tested it before giving it to Lugod by loading NT (using a
different hard disk) and testing.  No problems. It then ran RH7.? for a short
time before it got a new disk.  Bottom line is the Micro Star board is pretty
solid.  I heard rumor (I think from tomshardware.com) that the present Athlon
chips had problems with dual processing.  I can not confirm this.

i'm considering building an athlon system.  i've fallen completely behind on
modern x86 technology.

what manufacturers should i be looking at for high quality athlon motherboards?
are there dual athlon mboards yet?

i assume ECC133 ram is needed for an athlon?

anything else i should consider?
