Hey good folks,
Going to put together a dedicated gaming computer and have narrowed
everything down except the motherboard.
System will for sure include:
Antec case with 400w power supply
Western Digital 80gb HD with 8meg cache
Sony DVD drive
Corsair memory...either 256mb or 512mb of pc3200 ddr ram
GeForce4 Ti4200 64mb video card
Will get a switch to share my existing monitor, keyboard , and mouse
between the gaming computer and my current system (no desk room to add)
Cpu will be an Athlon XP...1900+ or 2000+ or 2100+...depending on mobo
cost

The mobo's I have selected:  Asus A7V8X w/ Via Kt400 chipset, Gigabyte
7VAXP Ultra with Via Kt400 chipset, Asus A7N8X Deluxe with nforce
chipset, or Soyo SY-Kt400 Dragon Ultra Platinum.

I know I probably can't go wrong with any of them, but just looking for
opinions on what you might pick and why.
If you have suggestions on other changes, feel free on that also.
Probably going to use Partition magic to divide up the hard drive into
about 10gb for WinXP Pro, 65gb for data partition, and rest for swap
file.

Thanks in advance,

Neal Collins
