Dan, Re:"kx133 chipset" Well i looked at it. They had to go high and low to find any benchmarks where the KX133 beats the 750. And I quote his ending statement: "On the topic of dual processor Athlon chipsets, VIA will not be producing one in the foreseeable future leaving AMD as the only option for a dual processor Athlon chipset. In the end, is it really all that odd that CPU manufacturers seem to know how to make chipsets that allow their CPU to perform optimally?" Its a shame that AMD failed to add 133Mhz support to the 750. The super bypass feature adds almost a speed grade, as does the 133Mhz support. A chipset that featured BOTH from AMD would have been phenomenal. Now we are left with an OK offering from VIA. Frankly I am unimpressed. regards, Kash
