Thank you all. Some very useful info/links... kt7a + ddr, I don't know why I thought this was an option... must've misread some page or something... :P Anyway, I think I'll go with the kg7. As far as I can tell it *should* be fine with the sb-live, has the better options for future ram-expansion, nicer features and in general gets the better comments/reviews... I still have one concern though: Am I heading for trouble with my two Matrox-cards (*and* sb-live) on the kg7? Cards are: Millenium I (2064W) and Millenium II (2164W) in a dualhead setup... I'd sorely miss dual, but at the moment I couldn't afford to go get new graphics card(s) as well. Searching for kg7-lite matrox millenium doesn't seem to turn up anything, but I'm not sure if this is because it doesn't pose a problem, or if it's just because these cards are so old that nobody's ever used them with the kg7...(?) Thanks again for the other info... I'll consider going with one of the newer processors, but, I *am* on a budget :( Jon Clausen
