Going to upgrade this week... looking for MB advice (Graphics too)

Oh.. I decided to go with the 2G Northwood instead of the 2.2.  I just couldn't justify the additional cost.

I forgot to add my .02 about the video.
IMHO,the Geforce III TI200 is the best bang for the buck.CompUSA has them for $150 now,and they are even cheaper online.The prices will drop even more when the Geforce IV 4600 debuts this month.

Some like the Radeon series;I personally don't.Great performer,but their driver support sucks,and some games just don't like the card.I could see through the insignia on my wings in WWIIOL,lol.

  Well??  Don't leave us guessing! haha.  What board did you get?
