Thanks for the comments. I had heard of the P6 chipset problems, but I thought they'd been and gone by now. It's a toss up between a P5-166 and a P6-200 at the moment, but the newness of the Triton 2 and PPro boards worries me a bit. I'd prefer to wait, but there's the timing of my father wanting to take my old bits off me to consider too! Stuart -- Stuart Booth Somewhere in Godalming, England, UK!!! stuart@garage.demon.co.uk
