First off, thanks to all who responded to my previous
posts; you've been very helpful.

My son and I are planning to assemble an Athlon-based
system, probably with a via kx133-based motherboard.
(We're currently looking at the asus-k7v and the abit-ka7.)
w2k would be the probable os for the machine.
tomshardware has a detailed discussions of some problems
with w2k and the via kx133's agp, but makes it sound like
via has addressed this.

So...  Does anyone one have w2k working well on a system
of this type.

Also, we've seen more than one comment that the 'AMR slot'
on the asus motherboard (and others) is a disadvantage.
This might give the tip of the hat to abit.  What's an 'AMR
slot' (and why do we care)?

Thanks again for your help.
