Sean et.al. - I need some feedback pour favor. I finally found the specs & info I needed. I hadn't researched this as hard as others to this point, and today read Abit's spec sheet which indicates that the BH6 does support ECC RAM so that's what I'll be getting, and memory-man.com says that Cas2 is a specification important to those who run at bus speeds >100, which I don't anticipate doing so I don't think I need that RAM type. BTW, Anand has a new BX MB review posted that includes 18 boards and a wealth of general information, as always. I found the memory-man link at the end and it offers the best overall info. I've see re: memory questions...good prices too. Almost ready to order as follows: BH6 MB Celeron 300A 64 meg ECC RAM, Cas3 (cant' decide between Corsair or less expensive alternative by RAm Warehouse or MemoryMan...comments anyone?) InWin FT (300W for all those addon cards in the future!) ATI Expert98 (courtesy of SW's solid comparison) Maxtor Stealth 7.5 gig HD 19" Monitor as yet undecided, leaning toward Princeton EO900 plus Diamond 56kflex modem from current machine which works fine I may try to use the new 19" monitor and my current 15" ADI with WIN98. Would it be best to get 2 PCI video cards or 1 PCI card and 1 AGP card for multiple monitors? Thanks much. Dave
