I try to resist the temptation of the cutting edge(many times I don't succeed). There are usually some bugs in the first releases. I prefer that someone else go first. ( you try it and tell me if it works without hanging up, what good is speed if it is not there when you need it!) For example: I feel comfortable with the ABIT LX6 motherboard because many have gone before me and ABIT has made the necessary changes in the board to make it stable. Regards Zeuspaul

April 1998..............lots in store! >In February or March, Intel will unveil a motherboard design that sports a 100MHz bus, which is one-third faster than current PC buses. The new bus should improve disk I/O, memory and video performance. In fact, PC makers believe the bus will boost throughput by 20 percent over current designs. According to Intel sources, the new bus will be accompanied by new core logic and the 440BX AGP chipset to enhance desktop management and better integrate audio and telecommunications.< >For users seeking a real performance kick, Windows Magazine recommends they hold the line with their current system until the end of March. That's when Intel will serve up a 400MHz Pentium II processor that's designed to work on computers equipped with 100MHz buses. The one-two combination should be more than 50 percent faster than a system equipped with a 300MHz processor and 66MHz bus. < biz.yahoo.com Yes, ZP, I agree with waiting for the 3rd generation of 100mhz boards. Tom really stresses this point in his review. The results of a 100 mhz board with a PII 400 chip looks impressive! S.W.
