    Who wants a Via cyrix chip?


    It really isn't all that good

    You could do better building your own

    Case/ with PS $70 ( $70 will get you a nicer case)
    Retal xp 2200+ $164 ( t-bred)
    Samsung Original DDR333 PC-2700 256MB CAS2.5 $70
    ECS K7S5A $56



    $360 without ship.

    I'm looking for a mobo that has AGP 8x, preferably something that has the Via KT400 chipset.

    Dude, dont get a KT400 chipset. It barely outperforms the KT333.

    too late.

    I guess i'll just have to deal with the slightly superior KT400.Why couldn't it be more superior?
