What are your thoughts on DUAL Athlon machines, specifically with regards to cooling and performance ?
Well, since there are only two of them, and they're made by Tyan, they're mustard. :P
Any motherboards to stay AWAY from (I prefer non-integrated boards to those with sound/lan on-board,
Again; there are two. Thunder and Trinity? You don't want the Thunder, since it's a server-class board with everything and a cherry on top. Dual 3Com nics, ATI (mach64) video, U160 SCSI... P.S. - Don't try and use a removable disk if you want any performance out of it. You can't have your cake and eat it too. From the other sounds of it, you want more than a grunt-box. Gaming, sound, and video editing? I'd hate to see what you do when you're trying to get *work* done... ===== -- -=|JP|=- '01 B15 SE/PP | http://www.xanga.com/cowboydren/ | />< '95 SL2 Auto | cowboydren @ yahoo . com | __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
