    looks good to me as will

    the only geeks that could say it's a shit board r idot power user
    because of mayb the low fsb

    whether the fsb of this board is less than great or not is dependent on the bus speed of the processor. what processor do you have?
    if the fsb on the cpu is 266MHz or less, then the fsb on the board is great. if the cpu fsb is more than 266MHz, you wont be getting all the performance of the cpu
    (a lot of acronyms in there, but everyone knows what they mean, i think)

    For those who don't know, FSB is the Front Side Bus. Its speed determines how quickly the CPU interacts with the main memory.

    what cpu do you have Monkey?
    that's probably the most important spec which is missing here.
    also, what ram do you have?

    edit: stray bracket, never saw it first time around

    your board seems pretty good for your current setup.
    perhaps you would consider buying ddr ram though?
    looking at your sig, you seem to take pride in your spec, however, i would say your ram is letting you down somewhat.
    ddr ram isn't too expensive these days. you would only need to buy 266MHz ddr ram too, as this is the best your board supports, so you could get a large increase in performance for a minimal outlay
