Im pretty much going to go with Socket A. BUT. I really want to hear from those who use an Athlon XP with Win98se or WinME. Especially with a geforce4 card and an Athlon XP below the 2xxx series. Do they ever give you much trouble and pain in the 9x OS's? The P3 Tua boards are honestly expensive and i just want a 2002ish computer that can play DX8 and all the way back to some late DOS stuff. Even the higher end coppermine cpus dont get the real performance i want in games like Mechwarrior 4 and Voyager: Elite Force. Not to mention the Socket A boards have AGP 8x. Is there really any reason to go for a P3 Tua?
Basically I just want to know others experiences with Socket A with the 9x era. Also if anyone would be nice enough to show me how well it runs Elite force 1 completely maxed out on 1024x768 at least would be nice. Any recommendations on motherboards? Im looking at the ASUS A7V8X-X 462 right now.
This way i can also put the system i have now to better use. Put a Voodoo 3 in my P3 machine instead.
