With the prices of a P4 1.6's so low, I'm getting one.
Especially since it oc's to 2 easily.
New system:
P4 NW 1.6

I tried telling everyone that. That is why I dumped that Epox board (fuskin' southbridge corrupted my Win2000 install twice in one week) for an all AMD MP system.
No problems whatsoever. I may get dual MP 2000+'s when me finds a job. Either that or get a Geforce4 and double the memory.

So far no problems running XP... knock on wood.

Maybe that's what I forgot to do.
BTW, congratulations on everything. Mine and your friends loss are yuor gain.

VIA's Win32 drivers are shite,
drop the win32 part and I'll agree.

If you get the dual XP's, AYB will no longer be the postwhore of power! You shall be! :)
What's your rig right now, as well as your needs? Perhaps we could put in our two cents as to what you should purchase.
My Tyan Tiger MP is a thing of beauty, but there seems to be one or two new Athlon MP Mobo's available.
A new GeForce4 Ti would be teh win as well. :)

I was thinking of the ASUS dual.

#1: Stability.
#2: Memory performance.
#3: No onboard IDE Raid.
#4: Proper Implementation of the PCI Spec.
#5: No propeitary power connector.
#6: Economical, I won't have a huge amount to spend, probably just mobo/proc's/ram.
I think that's it. I don't need onboard audio/video, lan would be nice, but hey, I already got a card for it.

Otherwise it looketh good!
I especially like the USB 2.0 built in.

Do you still need them with XP? Cos I'm running XP here and it's fine, and the only non Microsoft driver on the whole blessed thing is the nVidia GeForce one. Ultra-stable - the only thing that's brought it down was a drunk driver smashing into the bollard at our corner and frying the electicicty supply, which even nibs would have a hard time blaming on Microsoft.

Hey, how big is your power supply in your box?
Wed Feb 6 22:14:49 2002
Otherwise there is some caveats to each I think, but suitable PS's shouldn't be hard to find or expensive.

Via chipset drivers? those 4-in-1 things?Do you still need them with XP? Cos I'm running XP here and it's fine, and the only non Microsoft driver on the whole blessed thing is the nVidia GeForce one.

Via released an XP-compatible version of the 4 in 1 drivers, though extremely late relative to XP's release. Most OEM using via boards just stuck with the MS ones, which in my experience cause less problems, and are a bit slower.
