    Yea, it is a dumb slang word if you ask me.

    I had to laugh when I saw the mobo listed as an accessory!!!

    Accessories:
    - 1 motherboard
    - 1 manual
    - 1 CD-PRO
    - 1 CD-PLUS
    - 1 80-conductor ATA66/100 IDE Cable
    - 1 40-pin ATA33 IDE Cable
    - 1 FDD Cable
    (sorry if my spelling is bad)

    The Gigabyte GA-VAXP mobo is a very good choice. I definitely concur with that decision. My experience w/FIC mobos were not quite that good! They seem to only work within one year time, I've seen failures before and after the year warranty had expired! Definitely not on my list of recommended mobos!

    Gigabyte, Abit, Asus, MSI and Tyan are mobos that I found to work very well. The others just seem to be not that good at all.
    Just my .02 worth being thrown in!

    Bah... You must give a company a chance to redeem its self look at ati... they did improve. Just becuase you bought an old low quilty fic board that was a value board doesnt mean there high end boards arnt any good. They add the same compenets at the other companys whats differnt? Just because you dont have your brand you prefer name on it doesnt make it bad.. Actualy fic boards i have used have been pretty good... Personaly I like SOYO boards and ABIT.. but fic have been good "value" boards for systems i have built... Looks like a fair deal to me man becuase tigerd has no problem replacing things.. I burnt up an athlon said it was defected they took it back... I bought the wrong board said it was defected and sent it back also they are a very reasonable store but the prices are a little high

    A FIC motherboard with a Cyrix chip?? Am i rite in saying this?

    Basically ive threw out better Hardware, push the boat out and get a ASUS Board and even a Duron Processor would beat a Cyrix
