how much longer do u think Voodoo 5's will last

I still think games are suffering from 3dfx, 16-bit textures, 256x256 texture sizes, a API (Glide ) only written for 3dfx cards, my god, even the TNT2 supported 32-bit textures and 2048x2048 texture size, they even tried to use there own compressed texture format instead of S3's great S3TC...

Choice of Athlon XPs

I would go for the AthlonXP 1900+, it's only 30 more and it's worth it, If you end up getting a GF4 Ti then you'll need all the CPU speed to provent a bottleneck. My System

KT266A or KT333 chipset?

I myself have just brought a MSI KT-333 and for the price (£97) it's a good buy, the DDR2700 memory is not worth it as Athlon's 133Mhz FSB is the bottleneck, 166MhzFSB would take advantage of the DDR2700. I've upgraded from a KT-133 mobo so this was a natural choice, I would recommend a...

Seems you have not got the intelligence to read Anandtech's own reviews and benchmarks for yourself, as i've said counless times the PR system is not biased as even the benchmarks prove that a AthlonXP 1800+ has the same performance as a P4 1.8Ghz. I've read them, have you?

One more thing, P4 needs bandwith(RDRAM/DDR) Athlon/AthlonXP still use SDRAM and still keep up with a higher clocked P4, the P4 with SDRAM is totally awful, so take that into consideration because alot of people are buying this crock of crap.
