The VIA K8T330 runs on a 100 MHz Front Side Bus, whereas the VIA K8T330A hits a 133 MHz Front Side Bus..

I think they both have multipliers up to 14, if I recall correctly..
So, you could probably max out at 1400 for the VIA K8T330, or maybe hit 1850 with the VIA K8T330A...

I'm not really sure about the exact PR rating here😬 but I guess you can basically throw any Socket A processor in there..

(I actually just popped a 1700+ into an old VIA K8T330 board recently👍 )

...so
I only bumped my Duron up to about 1970 MHz, which puts me at FSB145, even though I guess it could probably go higher than that..

It actually hit 2250 MHz when I pushed it to FSB166, but honestly, it felt like the voltage had to jump all the way up to 2.0 just to keep things stable..

(I suspect my cheap little power supply just isn't cutting it😢 or maybe 😕 )

I guess I'm totally on the same page as slycrane94 here. I’d much rather drop $300 or $400 (or maybe even $600 in my case 😬) on a mouse that just works and works and keeps working without any issues—you know, nothing where the buttons die or it starts stuttering on you. It seems way better than blowing $70 or $33 every three months on some cheap junk that just ends up stressing you out because it fails when you need it most.
I actually got a 5-year warranty on my current mouse.
If I kept buying those cheap ones, I'd probably end up spending way more over five years than what those few hundred bucks would have cost me anyway.

...man...those days of trackball mice are long gone...🙄 😎

...I mean, I still can't quite wrap my head around the fact that people are dropping more than $33 on a mouse..

Sure, having a remote feature might be 😬, but it's definitely not 🙂

..but I can actually see how smoothly the weapons swap out in the UT game 😍

..though 350 bucks 😲 🙂

It should probably run okay, I guess. But a Duron?
Go, go Microsoft!!!!!!!!:🎉 🎉

The new Duron is honestly kind of a disaster..
Here is how they stack up:
Athlon XP 1800+ pushed to FSB166 -->3DMark2001 = 10530
Duron XP 1800 pushed to FSB166 --> -II- =10354

Both were running on the Truth Board and didn't really get hotter than 55°C, I think.

I haven't tried unlocking the L2 cache yet, but if I manage to pull that off, this processor might actually be a beast for such a tiny amount of cash.🙂

And Microsoft... well, what can you say? They're based in the Midwest, so I suppose it's fine (there aren't many cheap options with any decent selection around here anyway).

I ended up buying my components separately (only grabbed the motherboard, CPU, and RAM at Microsoft), so I don't really care much either way.😉

man, you're a non-smoker 😲
from the Popušilić family 🙄

I don't smoke, and honestly, it sucks, mostly because I guess I've already gotten used to being around smokers 🙄

And you really gotta watch out with No Doubt either; they've got some decent tracks, but then there’s some stuff that’s just straight up gross, though I guess their hits are usually way more popular by default.

I mean, it probably just depends on who you ask, 🙂

I was just kind of throwing out whatever popped into my head, I guess. 😉

And we could totally go back and forth on Bruce Springsteen too... but that’s not really what we’re trying to do here.
I mean, we could have suggested people like:
Taylor Swift
Maroon 5
Lady Gaga
Bruno Mars
Nickelback

Or even like:
Jennifer Lopez
Britney Spears
Take That 🙂

I just put my ideas out there, so maybe you guys can toss yours out too..
so we can pick one.
