I want to upgrade to windows XP with a new amd, and in doing so, I am looking for the easiest trouble-free way to do it. I have searched past forums, and it gets really confusing. Simply put, I don't want to flash bios (if possible), and I want to have the optimal setup. Here goes: What version of BIOS do I need? What Amd XP processor is the best? What chipset is best? I am looking at the Asus A7V333. I am buying from United Micro, and their chipsets seem to be limited. I know this has been beaten to death, but I would REALLY appreciate anyone who can assist. Doug

Could I go less than XP2200 with that chipset? For example, could I go with an XP2000?

You Betcha Hey. I'd go with the XP2200 for the extra 40.00. Whole new core and screaming on PTLE. How about those Packers Hey? Allen

sorry, bears fan...
