Thank you! I have mentioned this before! You can get a really nice socket 478 board and have the option to swap between 3.4ghzish 9x ROCKET to a p3 equivalent. especially since the 1.4ghz Willamette p4 is considered to be slower then a 1.4s Tualatin.

Yea!

I'm sourcing some of the slower CPUs for S478 at the moment and will put together a benchmarking chart to compare them all.

Currently I have a 2.4 P4 with a MX440, Voodoo 2 SLI and Vortex 2 for sound. It works really well. Getting insane FPS in glide games. Unreal runs along at 140 fps I believe at 640 x 480.

The platform is also very easy to work with. SATA ports, don't have to mess around with SATA IDE adapters or CF cards.
