mm. Baby AT size are tricky.. i like lotīs of room when i muck about with IDE cables and stuff. But thatīs just a personal opinion. If you want Asus and super 7 socket, i guess there arnīt may options. If youīre not already sitting on the CPU iīd recommend a Celeron 300, cause they have a very nice overclockability :) As far as my experience with Asus, i think all of their stuff is great. watch out for the Speed easy Bios though. br john On Thu, 20 May 1999 gummibear@we.mediaone.net wrote: > > > I'm thinking of upgrading my old P133 FreeBSD machine with a new > Motherboard, RAM and an AMD K6-2 350.
