Baby AT size are tricky.. i like lot=B4s of room when i muck about with= =20 IDE cables and stuff. But that=B4s just a personal opinion. If you want Asus and super 7 socket, i guess there arn=B4t may options. If you=B4re not already sitting on the CPU i=B4d recommend a Celeron 300,= =20 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: >=20 >=20 > I'm thinking of upgrading my old P133 FreeBSD machine with a new > Motherboard, RAM and an AMD K6-2 350.
