Got a questiona and hoping someone
who reads Sharkey's site would know
what to recommend.

What I need to know, is what MB to buy
if i plan on using RDRAM.
I plan on buying a P3 800 with the 133mhz
bus.
I got 128mb of RDRAM for a steal of a price.
So I am going to be using that in the system
that I build. (got it less than SDRAM from a friend...)
My dilemma is what Mother Board to get with 133mhz bus.
It has to be a P3 compatible MB because from my understanding is that Athlon doesn't support RDRAM.

Anyone recommend one to me?
I plan on using this system for audio and gaming.
4X AGP would be nice too =]

I was looking on pricewatch, and I see that a company called Next International is offering an ASUS P3C-E and Pentium 800EB MHz
combo for $465. I think it's going to be difficult to do much better, while maintaining quality.
