Ha-ha-ha.. just when I think I'm done, I have one more question....
Newegg wants to know which "Chipset" I want to search by.
What's the one that has the items to fit my bill:
~AGP 4X
~AMD 1.7+

I'm looking at putting a 1.7Ghz chip on a ASUS M/B.
Is my only option :
ASUS A7M266 ? it's $150.00
My local computer company says the A7V266 only supports up to 1.4 Ghz chips....are they correct?

Are there any other GOOD M/B makers..I don't...
