Just finished setting up a new giga comp:

Kt3 ultra mobo VIA chipset
Athlon 1800xp
IBM 7200rpm
Win98se

Works like a charm. Reaches 160 voices at 28% cpu load and no pops and clicks.

Just thought I\'d share this setup for anyone in doubt of what to buy for a working giga setup.
I know I\'ve been in doubt.

I just took a chance and gambled on this setup.
Works great.

Is this the mobo you used?

K7VTA3/3.1; SKT A; VIA KT333 chipset

If not, could you give some more info on the mobo.

That\'s the mobo, yes. It\'s the new KT board with support for 333mhz ddram. Very nice board.

Lex: I\'m currently using 256mb ram, coz I\'ve been told that the ram prices are on their way down. Holding my breath for the plunge. I\'m buying a delta card for giga soon. Just testing with an old gina card right now.

So your advice is not to spend 3000NOK on 1Gb of RAM next week...?

Thanks,

Alex
