I've got the K7S5A board w/512 DDR-and an Athlon Xp at 1700+ ( oc'ed a little ), and i enjoy it quite well. Not too mention that it plays games fantasticly!

The only question i have is what is a GeForce3 TI2000/128mb? I've got a Ti500-the Geforce 4 comes in 128MB's, but not any of the G3 series. So i take it you meant Geforce3 Ti200/64MB's.

I looked at the Board on the ESC site.
The volcano will fit perfectly But I see one thing missing that you may want to add to your list,
The chipset has a heatsink only. I’d add a fan to it.
Your Volcano will be blowing hot air directly over the chipset H/S
Avoid any possible hassles and add a small fan to cool it.

When i was looking at the GeForce3 TI2000 thought it said it came with 128kb/guess i was wrong. As far as the volcano fan i ment a fan for the CPU. The case comes with 4 fans, will this be enuff? Ive never run an AMD b4 and want to keep it cool. Would the higher end videocard be worth the extra $$$ ? Any other feed back or suggestions would be appreciated. THKS
