What a deal! I've been looking around, and at googlegear.com, talk about a deal... Gigabyte GA-7VTXH+ for 103.99 and the AMD Athlon XP 1800+, with heatsink, fan and 3 year warranty, for 109.00. 2-day shipping is $20 to me I think this is what i'm looking for.
sounds like a damn good deal to me...just watch out on the fan and heatsink you get as you would want something decent on that...
hmmm....Look around for the Gigabyte GA-7VRXP....THG rate it as the best KT333 board, and in the UK it's under £100 with RAID, making it considerably cheaper than Abit, Epox and Asus competitors, which it is said to be better than also.
My Gigabyte CP7VRXP came this morning, great board...loads of extras (usb 2, usb cables, ide connectors, case badges, Norton Antivirus 2002 and Personal Firewall 2002) Just need to buy my memory and borrow my mates ASII then ill be up and running. Installed the XP 1800+ and things are peachy! *crosses fingers* Even tho i havent used the board yet, id highly recommend it, for its looks, features, manual/quick start guide and layout. £92 = BARGAIN!
After all I said I was getting, we just went to Frys, got tired of online dealing. I now have a MSI 845 Ultra with p4 1.5ghz. I must say, this is a dream. If anyone is using Intel, I do suggest the MSI 845 ultra, this board is well worth its price. Soon to be finished with my case, just a little spraying left, some cable tidy (needs a lot in that department), my CCFL soon and I will be finished, however, I am missing one blanking plate, so bare with the free space there.
