hi, i'm so happy that i thought i would announce it..i got rid of the via junk and am now totally intel!!if i could do it over my only thing that i would do different is i go pentium 4 instead of 3...but it doesn't really matter..what i got is as follows...


cusl2

pentium 3 1 ghz processor

all black case w/400 watt ps

3.0 gig hard drive(all i need)

black floppy

black gd 7000 dvd drive..

windows 98se

powerdvd xp 4.0

radeon 7000 32mb ddr

vortex sq1500 w/spidf

wireless black liteon keyboard/mouse combo


this system is totally rock solid!!!! and the sound thru the vortex($8) is very nice...i don't see any difference myself between this and the sb live i used to use...DD and DTS both play fine even 6.1!!!all this feeds into a sony 1031..after all this i'm convinced in that intel is the only way to go...via gave me nthing but problems.

What via chipset-based motherboard did you have?


My main work machine I put together over a year ago is an Iwill KK-266R (Via KT133A chipset.) All I've had to do to get it to work perfectly (even with a SB Live for 6 months!) is keep the newest 4-in-1 drivers on it.
