What do you guys think? Here are my prospects

Asus A7V333 http://usa.asus.com/mb/socketa/a7v333/overview.htm

Athlon XP 1900+... just because it can be had for fairly inexpensive

512 MB PC2700 DDR

My current setup is:
Asus A7V133
Athlon 900
512 MB PC133

Does the USB 2.0 work on that board? I was reading in the review that it doesn't work?

"two USB panels for a total of six USB ports, four of which follow the 2.0 standard"

forget newegg.com, too over priced. It's called www.pricewatch.com for the best computer deals!

if your going with a KT333 board go with the EPoX 8K3A+. I'm an Abit fan myself... but that board kicks ass. Just check this review out of the top KT333 boards: http://www.sharkyextreme.com/hardware/motherboards/article.php/1367631 EPoX 8K3A+ blows the others out of the water. And for a CPU I would go with the Athlon XP 1700+ (.13 micron thouroughbred version... not the plain old one) and OC that sucker. You can get them to run at the XP 2200+ speeds (though it actually performs better at that speed) Pretty cheap too. http://www.sharkyextreme.com/hardware/cpu/article.php/3261_1363691__9

I have a Soyo K7Dragon Plus MB that I'll be putting an XP 2100+ on eventually. I'll also be adding a 19" Samsung monitor and a Plextor 40/12/40 drive :cool:
