Anyone know where I can get an OEM copy of win2k?

buy.com has the retail and upgrade versions but I'd like to get the oem version which can be had very cheap but you have to buy it with a mobo or a HDD, which I'm in the market for anyway.

Hi wily, Thinking Tyan may have an UP on Abit. Seems lots of incapability with Abits lately.

Via Apollo Pro 133A chipset., this seems to be OK. The earlier 133 didn't fare too well.

-i820 and the 810, 820 Intel MoBo mostly have been recalled.

AMR slot in favor of an ISA., I/m not familiar with AMR, is this something to do with Rambus?

6 PCI slots, The Abit BF6 MOBO W/6 PCI slots doesn't sound too hot. The 6th slot shares an IRQ with another slot and only way to utilize the sixth slot is with an I/O Card not requiring a IRQ.

I detect a longing that wily might like a Dual Coppermine FC-PGA 600E O/Clocked to 800 giving a total 1600 MHz, WOW!!!!

Regards, keep us posted <g> /jw

wily, if you are thinking Tyan you may want to join the Tyan News Group and see where weakness is?
