Kevin, >>cards based on the new ATI Rage 128 chipset have also gotten good reviews. You could do a Vodoo 2 SLI configuration for your 3D games, but it's expensive <<<< I am seeing some combinations of both of these cards ATI Rage 128 w/16 MB and the Voodoo 2 SLI with 24MB together on the same machine. Cyber Max has one with the K6-2 400 19" monitor for $1999 In the Computer Shopper Mag. The Voodoo and a MS pro Joy Stick is a $149.00 option. Ram is 128K. V90, yada yada...... Is this what you mean. Thanks Bruce

Kevin, re: "get either a 400 MHz K6-2 or a 300 MHz Celeron A" Why not buy a CeleronA/333 and run it at 375MHz (5x75MHz)? This chip and a BH6 mobo cost $75 less than the K6-2/400 chip alone. There's a near-100% chance it will run rock stable, and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to get it running. When the K6-3 becomes arrives, chuck the mobo/CPU and get a spiffy new mobo optimized for the K6-3. You're money ahead and you'll probably end up with a better system. Craig
