So I wanted something between my Pentium II 266 and Athlon XP 3200, I know its a big gap but I felt one system could fill it while keeping a low foot print. I had a Socket A Compaq that I recovered from a bad bios flash, but it also had an Athlon XP 3200 in it, not really needed. Well going through my cpu's looking for something I found an Athlon 900, not remembering where it came from I popped it in. It posted right away, but as a 667mhz Athlon 4, running the bus at 133. Its a little slower than I wanted a 900 would be better and I'm sure if i get one of those defroster kits I could lock the FSB and multiplier, but ya know what I'll take it. It seems the default multi is 5 without multi control and the compaq sets it to 133mhz, so I get an Athlon XP at 667mhz with SSE, and considering at 900mhz its a 24w chip I'm gonna wager a guess its around 16W now. Now to go with it a Geforce4 MX440 64bit card, 512mb of PC2700 at 2100, and an 80GB hard drive running Windows 98SE, it should be perfect, what do yall think

well ive found out my Geforce4 is bad, how terrible is the VIA IGP on KM400A, ive seen reviews for the Savage4, and its worse than my TNT2 M64 in my Pentium II, does that hold true yall think with the IGP version im KM400
