    Methinks chrimbo is time for a long awaited upgrade, can someone shed some light on what would be the best solution for under £300

    It's gotta be an AthlonXP and an Asus A7V-266 E (note the E, very important. Means it's the new 266a chipset instead of the original 266, which wasn't as good). But don't buy from Dabs...

    Anyone know when XP 1900s are out? Or am I a little behind with the times?

    Check out these reviews.....here and here I just ordered an Epox EP- 8KHA+ to go with a xp1700 what a board steady as a rock and great for overclocking....just look at the figures...as someone who WAS a headcase for Abit i think they need to start looking over their shoulders cus Epox is deff closing fast if not overtaking them.

    With regards to the Epox, one just landed on my metaphorical doorstep, so look for the First Look in a few days ;)

    That Epox 8KHA+ is a great little board for its money. With an Athlon XP Chip you'll be happy as Larry, so they say!:cool:
