    I bought the XP1900 and changed the FSB to 137 to get it to recognize as an XP2000 :D . No real reason for this except to see it register at 2000 instead of 1900. Honestly, I bought the best XP I could afford until the Hammer is released. With the minimal differences in Mhz the only REAL difference is in price. Unless you're in to bragging rights, get what you can afford.

    WOW! 1536 ram..That is alot of memory. Do you have any stability issues with that much ram? Sometimes the Via chipsets dont like to have all 3 slots used up..

    So Ive decided on one of two things..Kepp my mobo and just buy the chip. I can get the 1900 for short money now..Or I can go ahead with a whole new mobo/cpu setup. I just want to make sure that the new VIA KT333 chipset will be leaps and bounds over my current AMD 761 chipset. My computer runs very stable so I dont want to get some mobo that is going to cause me headaches.
