The only problem with the L440GX+ is getting them. There are real hard to find now since Intel is phasing them out, intro the 820 and 840 chip boards. About 3 weeks ago I treid to get a hold of 4 L440GX+'s, I must of called about 10 distributors, nobody had it. As for a good motherboard, as soon as all the bugs are ironed out with the Supermicro PIIIDM3, thats a powerfull board. The 840 chipset blows away 440BX/GX based boards. Not to mention 4 Gb of memory support! -john On Thu, 30 Mar 2000, Doug Barton wrote: > up@3.am wrote: > > > > On Thu, 30 Mar 2000, Ron 'The InSaNe One' Rosson wrote: > > > > > Well I got my dream come true...
