Hi,
        I am assuming that by 770 you mean a Diamond viper 770, this is Diamonds
newest video card, it uses a TNT-2 chip.  Haven't used it (yet) but haven't
heard any problems from the reviewers about it.  As to the memory, word of
warning.  Make sure you have PC100 memory.  The AMD k6-III 450 is a 100 MHZ
bus chip, and most 32 Meg Sdram I have seen are only rated for 66MHZ.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Building new system


I finally broke down and decided to build a new system, 2 megs of video
RAM wasn't cuttin' it anymore.

I decided on AMD K-6-III 450, ASUS PSA board, my 32 megs of SDRAM can be
transferred along with my 2 G harddrive (temporarily).  I'm not into
gaming or great sound so an ESS PCI sound card and a 770 (?) video card
were suggested, reading the multitudes of reviews is making my head
implode. I was told compatibility issues were very important here.
Could someone recommend something known for it's ease, preferably 16
megs?

Thanks for being here, I've used more of the information on this board
than anywhere else.
