Was rather impulsive to add the $30 Chaintech 6VJD to an order fro www.PcBuyerClub.com [ Click on Computer>Motherboard>Via Pro 266 Chipset for 6VJD] as I said myself [above] DDR requires certain envirinment to derive performance benefits from DDR".

But didn't want to buy SDR any more and I liked the expandability AGP 4X, 5 X PCI, CNR, AMR of the P3 Mobo. Underestimated cost of older Pentium CPYU though !

Called Chaintech Tech: fastest CPU it supports is Coppermine ! ghz --no Tualitin-- and Celeron 1.1 Ghz.

Fastest DDR is 2100.

Being as DDR cost about as much as SDR --Crucial 2.5CS, 2100, 2.5v, at about $70 for 256Mb--I figure better to get DDR even if not utilized now--than SDR.

Actually against my philosophy which is to buy for NOW as prices drop and who knows what the future will bring in Tech.

So I ordered one of those goofy Combo's P3 and DDR the Industry is known for because "the public wants it"[see above]. YIPES !

Probably could return for a least a credit--will look for cheap Coppermine. A 1 Ghz Retail (hard to find OEM ?) goes for about $140 . In the immortal words of CaddQ, "Egads !"

Wondering if (more expensive) 2700(333Mhz) will run at 2100 default as I would prefer to buy a single 256 Stick and see how it goes.

Otherwise abandon the Project ! ALL TecHIMO's Fault !

I posted about P3 and everybody loved the CPU

!

Otherwise put a Celery on it. This is for the Kitchen Computer--DOOGS favorite room--so don't need a KAWABOMBA machine !

$19 400W case with $30 Mobo(Retail). Chaintech Value Pack 2002 SW. Can be Oc'd to 177 Mhz(well, theoretically).

DOOOOG

P.S. Thy also sell a 6VJD2 (OEM) which runs either DDR or SDR for $30 , but figured the worst is that I'd be warehousing DDR memory on a Mobo that can't really use it. Use DDR mem later .

Check out the $16 100% copper Flower Cooler with separate bracket arm and 92 mm fan + rheostat. Will support fans to 120 mm.

And ThanX AuraEdge and everybody--even though it was TecHIMO's fault (

) that got me into this jam

!
