Anyway, somebody mentioned the nForce 2 chipset down the page - does anyone know if there's a mini-ATX version of the blighter coming out? I need one for a future PC I'm building.

Me too. I have a lovely Enermax PSU with adjustable fans. Nice and quiet.
> Why on earth would you want more than 1GB RAM?
I like to run multiple apps atthe same time normally DWMX/FWMX/PS7/Illustrator 10/Plasma... I use a lot of processor intensive programs at once and the more Ram the better. A GIG is fine, but PS7 needs 128MB just to open + 128MB for XP Pro to run then 512 for MX Studio to run properly... soon runs out!

110 or 120 fps...
> Who would want to overclock.. o.O
My sentiments exactly. Any processor above about 1000Mhz can do anything you want. Increasing the speed means it spends slightly more time doing nothing - can anyone here really see the difference between IE loading in 0.02 seconds and 0.01 seconds, or between 100fps and 120fps in Quake III? Thought not.
And I reckon the most important quality of a PSU is that it doesn't make any bloody noise :O)
