Woah, so this Chaintech board has integrated Geforce 4 + Tv out? And
supports DDR400... definately a step up.... perhaps I'll go with that.

On another topic, is there any processor choice which will aid in the
heat issues presented by Ryan Steffes (not in this message, but
hopefully the rest of the list got it)
