CrazyOldMan,
re:Opinion

Here is two sets of Tom's numbers. I was looking really hard at the MSI6195 (K7PRO) motherboard before I went with the K7V. I didn't add much weight to the small gains, if any from PC133 using the VIA chipset.

1st:

2nd, maybe more graphically shown, my view of VIA's weakness:

I was very disappointed Anand did not test some super bypass enabled 750 motherboards here:
anandtech.com
He had his reasons.

I think the points I presented would be similar to other's concerns, the discussion being the different weighting applied to these points and others I didn't mention.

The SOX has been all over the place. AMD earnings should help, and everyone will be besides themselves when Intel blows out the original estimate.

I love my K7V. I haven't had to reload windows, no crashes, unbelievable. I'd like to have more RAM but that's another story.........

Yes, let me know how the new toys work next week.

Thanks for the response CrazyMan, we all await July 19.
