<< Nice! Why 500? Overclocking potential?>> No, lack of funding potential! I was on a budget so I settled for a 500 mhz Athlon. I don't like overclocking since I just want a clean, simple and stable system, and most Athlon boards aren't directly overclockable anyway. BTW, with a CPU fan, an ATX 2.01 power supply, and an exhaust fan, my CPU temperature reads 35 degrees C and MB temperature 27 degrees C. Nice and cool, temperature-wise. Note that my Gigabyte board handles 500 mhz to 1 ghz Athlon's so I can upgrade the CPU very easily. Cheers, Rand
