Did I mention that as of 5pm eastern standard time tommorow I will be a jobless entry level A+ Technician.. and your killing me with all this news of boards being out.. oh well.. I'm buying anyhow

 

[Castellan]

Anyone know how the epox compares to some of the other board that have been previewed?

 

[Castellan]

But it's not really in stock. it says in stock on the fron mainboard page, but out of stock on the product page, at least now...

[Castellan]

Why do people insist on putting the atx header in the middle of the board? Am I the only one who finds this annoying?

Yea I just ordered one. =) I also ordered a Epox 8KTA3+ from Paragon yesterday..I don't think Paragon has any in stock yet though. They told me the 15th. I also ordered a 900MHz and a 1.2GHz Thunderbird to go along with my shiny new KT133a based boards. I guess it's time for my Abit SE6 and P3 700E clocked at 933/133 to retire. Now if I could just my hands on a NV20 or Radeon 2, I can retire my Voodoo5 5500. Heck I'll even take a Ramage if Nvidia decides produce and sell it soon! =) The Epox 8KTA3 and 900MHz Thunderbird is for my Son's upcoming 5th birthday.

He actually asked for his own computer and said he didn't want a slow one...he said he wanted a good one so he can play Quake3, UT, and Counter Strike. Damn, I wish I would have had toys like this when I turned 5! I think I got leggo's when I turned 5! hehehehe

 

[snow patrol]

you got your 5 YEAR OLD SON a system like that?!? You'll be using it heavily as well, I presume?

Any way, the Abit and Asus KT133A boards are already available here in the UK. I'm just waiting for a review or two before I choose.

If you're not gonna be using that V5,why don't you send it my way

 

[kylebisme]

[Regalk]

These kids will whop our a$$ in the next few years so give them them best right now. My kids have P3s (933 and 667) with GF2 MXs and stuff while I use the duron 600@900.

Abit BX6 r2 (I'll probably give her my Abit SE6)
