12328 2001-05-08 10:20:00 So I've figured about 800's quick enough for a chip speed but some one let me in on this side bus stuff and good motherboards and also is 128 ram enough or should I go for the big 256.I'm sorta looking at a thunderbird CPU which only fits one motherboard,am I steering in the right direction.The d-man soundboard is on its way from the land of the Poms so whats a good video card which will allow me to capture video and sync it with the music.

get AMD T-Bird 800+ they are very stable. I have a Athlon T-Bird 1000 with 256mb ram. Its on nearly all the time without any trouble.

I suggest you get 256mb ram because ram is pretty cheap these days and you will be better of with the extra memory. get a Nividia G-Force 32mb or over at least as your Video card.

Sweet as

Bob

Maybe its a case of unstable people shouldn't drive racy chips.
