I've had good luck with AMD dx2-80 and dx4-100 parts. Just make sure you get a decent motherboard. Avoid PCI/VLB combo boards. I'm probably going to upgrade my "play" machine to a dx4-120 as I'm in the same boat (lots of high-end VLB cards). Unless of course someone wants to trade swap me a PCI version of my #9 GXE 64 Pro with 4mb VRAM. :) Cheers, Chris -- Christopher Mauritz | For info on internet access: ritz@mordor.com | finger/mail info@ritz.mordor.com OR Mordor International | http://www.mordor.com/ 201/212/718 internet access | Modem: (201)433-7343,(212)843-3451
