23491	2001-11-03 07:32:00	the main thing you need to look at is what chipset does the board uses. the via kt266 is a tad slow. amd761 is an oldy but is speedy. sis735 is a new one, not many boards advaiable with it, very fast and also cheap. via kt266A new one just come out, the fasted chipset out. as far as DS goes, cheak what they actual manafacture of the board is. highly likely to be a brand name board. if not don't touch with a 20ft barge pole as their might not be any support for it later. such as new bios for new cpus etc. nothing worse than 6 months later you cannot upgrade your cpu because there is no upgraded bios advailable. ditto for drivers	Guest (0)
