No 3GHz P4's before 2003... :( :( :( :( :(

Edit: Can't inline. :mad:

The 533MHz FSB P4's should be supported by two very nice Intel chipsets.

i850-E [533MHz FSB, d/c PC1066 DRDRAM]
and Granite Bay [533MHz FSB, d/c PC2100 DDR-SDRAM]

Oh, and just in case the AMD Hammer actually surfaces in 2002, I just want to make it perfectly clear that I won't buy one unless I can:

         1. Equip a board with 4GB+ of RAM
         2. Get an all-AMD solution*

*: AMD processor, AMD chipset, AMD board.

I buy platforms, not CPU's. :biggrin:

I wouldn't want an AMD board.  Rather, a mobo like the one described will an All AMD chipset built by Tyan, AOpen, or Supermicro would be nice. :)

The only reason I can see buying something other than a first-party board is if you want tweaking features. Which I don't. I don't overclock anything or run things out of spec in any other way.

AMD has little experience making the boards themselves.

Rather, if Stability is what Mystic Grey desires, try Tyan or Supermicro.

They skimp on OC'ing features but maketh solid stuffs :)

IF I remember IG, you don't own your own rig?

are you planning to rectify that?

Imitation Gruel

I like Tyan. And I like SuperMicro. Their boards = just fine.

But sometimes getting a first-party solution can be reassuring. At the very least I want it to be an option. AMD keeping themselves dependent on 3rd-party chipset manufacturers is in my opinion a [color=red]fucking stupid[/color] way to run their CPU business. Maybe their partnership with UMC will allow them to produce more chipsets and thus alleviate this a bit.

In that, I would agree.

This is currently true. I decided I had no need of one since my hall has a computer lab open 24-7. I will rectify this sometime later in the year. If I don't decide to put it off even further.

However, my mom has a Dell rig at the house. I got her that because I don't want to be tech support; and Dell is commonly cited as having the best tech support in the industry.

Mystic Grey

Alas, that name has been retired out of sheer boredom. He now refers to himself as... Illusionist.

I see you are rapidly approaching Admiraldom.

Take heed!  Enjoy your time as Capitain as it is a time of carefree frolicking.

Admiraldom involves too much responsibility.  The weight of the world tends to wear you down.

Fairly near the last 10% of the way. I think I'll get it in less than a month.

Heh. I thought that was all this board was about.

What I don't like is losing the four stripes for one larger stripe. Admiral should be five stripes, dammit!

It's a burden I'm willing to bear to continue being one of the elite.

i'm impressed for a long time it was AYB and me that was leading the pack. Now i only trail somewhere far of in the distance behind you two guys.

How the heck did that happen? More importantly when did IG take over me? I'm sure i was the second to reach captain?

I don't remember when it was, chronologically, but I believe I passed you some time in the 1700's, postcount wise, OW.

That would have been before November 6 so it's been a few months.

RQE was the first Captain. Second was either AYB or you, OW; and third was the other. I was fourth.

After me, it went DuffMan, Socrates, Madan, and most recently DrPizza; making 8 people to reach Captain status. Seven of those currently hold it. AYB has moved onward.

IG,

you should consider getting one of [url=http://a772.g.akamai.net/5/772/51/9c43db954b3236/1a1a1aaa2198c627970773d80669d84574dc4bb81d4cb52283ea4fc2f1235383b5e41445]these[/url]

That would make a great computer for IG. :)

I believe that some akamai links are dynamic/cache links and not static so it won't work all the time.
