Go for the Number 1: ASUS started making P6 MBoards - and oh boy do they look impressive. I've ordered one( after jkh@ did it :)) and waiting for it to arrive in few days. In few words - it's P6 up to 200Mhz , up to 512Mb or RAM ( no more 128Mb) limit and cache memory will cover the whole range - not like first 64 M only with Triton based MBs. The price is something around $2K for the MB with the processor at 150Mhz - which is about 2 times more comparing to ASUS P55TP4Xe with P133 and 256K cache - but it's definitely worth it :) > > - -- > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > M.C Wong Email: mcw@hpato.aus.hp.com > Australian Telecom Operation Voice: +61 3 9210 5568 > Hewlett-Packard Australia Ltd Fax: +61 3 9210 5550 > P.O.
