LePaul, was there some particular reason you went with a board that uses SDRAM?  DDR Ram is not much more expensive than regular SDRAM, and offers much greater performance.  If it's a matter of cost, since you can reuse your SDRAM, I understand.

Perhaps go with a GF 4 4200 and use the savings to get DDR ram and switch to a DDR board....

I got that board as an exchange from the supplier.  I'd had a Tyan Dual P3 board that just locked up on every install of NT I tried on it.  The company bowed and agreed to take it back (a year later and a lot of frustration)....they asked what I'd like in exchange and I told them a solid Athlon motherboard for gaming.  That's what they sent.

If you have suggestions, speak speak!
