Some KT133a motherboard won't work well with it. I'm curious, what system did you finally decided on? For a gaming rig, assuming you are going to use 1024X768 resolution at 32bit, then a cpu that is over 900 mhz is pretty much unnecessary because the bottleneck would be your videocard. I'd go for the Duron 900, a good motherboard that can take in 1.5 ghz athlons for future upgrade, and use the extra money you've saved to get a Geforce 2 pro or even a better yet, a Geforce 3. For a gaming rig, it's the videocard that counts.
