Thank you everyone for your valuable information on the motherboard. I just bought a K6-233 for $219. I will design a water cooling system or a giant copper block to cool down the chip. This happens to be my expertise, heat transfer. I want to cool it down enough so I can crank up the chip to 333MHz using 83MHz bus speed at 4x multiplier. Does anyone know whether the K6 supports the multiplier beyond 3.5X, says 4, 4.5, or 5X? I will use 64MB SDRAM for memory, an IDE hard drive. I am not sure about a video card. Any sugestions out there? Does it make a big difference in performance? John I heard that the Shuutle 603 is unstable when running at 83MHz. At 75MHz it is OK. I will do and publish performance testing when I get it up and running. Also I looked into some of these motherboards as a few has suggested. The problem is that not all boards support multipliers beyond 3.5X. Maxwell

All,,, At what point in the AMD roadmap does the Intel equivalent/comparable processor shift from the Pentium MMX to the Pentium II. As all of you are painfully aware, AMD's pricing policy has been one of 25% less than the comparable Intel processor, and AMD has chosen the Pentium MMX as the current comparable processor. At what point in the AMD CPU development process is Pentium II equivalency attained? I can't see a "cut and dried" continuation of this policy in light of Intel's plans to de-tune the PII (cache-less Pentium II). Buckwheat
