I've ordered from probably upwards of 20 different stores, and I had only one bad experience (waited 3 months to get a pair of disks for my ATA RAID array). As for motherboards, other people here could steer you better than I can; however, I have a high opinion of Asus, MSI, and Tyan. I have seen too many broken Abit boards to like them much anymore. One of the things you will probably want to look for is DDR333 support. The 166 MHz FSB is very important in my opinion. You can only use it with AthlonXP 2700, and I've seen AthlonXP 2600 sold in 166 MHz FSB versions, though I didn't know AMD released any. The originally said it was just the 2700 and 2800 models. -Matt
