Biting the bullet because of my click and pop problems with my old P3 machine, I upgraded to:
Pentium 4 1.7 Ghz
ASUS p4B266-C mobo (intel 845D Chipset)
256 DDRAM (PC 2100)
Audiophile 2496
Inno 3D GeForce 2 MX400 32MB AGP Card

SOS posted about AMD's wonderful breakthrough to the 333FSB world :p

Saw this posted elsewhere...anyone got any comments?

Ummh, I'm shopping for a new system and I just wanted to straighten a few things out and ask a few:

I have a RME Hammerfall Lite 9636 card.

Should I go with AMD or Intel?

Which Chipset? Seems like Via and SIS are catching up with Intel somewhat?

Ok guys...did some quick research and found an erata report for the Intel 845G

Hey guys, just did a round of testing on some new drives and thought I'd share my finds with you fine people...

I've got 2 new drives in the new ANUS: an 80gig Maxtor D740X with fluid bearings, and the new Western Digital 120gig special edition with 8MB buffer.

As well as a new mobo from Asus...
The P4B533! Yeehaw! Man, true 533FSB! Oh well! Time to think about selling my ANUS for the ANUS Jr system! lmao!

I've been reading a bit about this at http://www.intel.com/home/tech/optimize_pc.htm

I'm currently running an Asus P4T-E with a Pentium 4 1.8. Does anyone know anything driver/software/whatever it is? It looks interesting, but I'm a little wary of installing something I don't know much about.

after much research decided on intel ddr mobo, would appreciate any recommendations on the best one to use in particular with midiman audiophile+any problems/successes people have had
looking at
*intel d845pt (seems fairly poor from other reviews)
*asus p4b266 (good but expensive?)
*Soyo P4i fire dragon
*MSI 845 Ultra

Anybody familiar with the Intel D815EPEA2 motherboard? Pros and cons?
Thanks.
