Athlon T-Bird 800Mhz - £98
Soltek SL 75KV2X Socket A - £92
128mb PC133 Ram - £55

Umm thats £245 and about £5 delivery, now thats GOOD!

Get all that from http://www.cclcomputers.com

I just ordered my new stuff from there, oh and you can get a review on the Soltek board from http://www.hexus.net if your not sure about it, btw its GREAT :)

Wait for KT133A mobos to appear(few weeks) as they give around 95% peformance of the AMD 760. They should only be a little more expensive than the KT133 boards.

I'd disagree there m8, they aren't that much faster! well from what i have read (probably BS) :)

Anandtech have a review of one of the boards, and it shows promise. Abit have anounced that they are bringing a KT133A board out soon so that should be even faster.
The full AMD 760 boards(AMD 761 N bridge& 766 S bridge) will be around 2 months away and DDR ram looks like its going to be more expensive that previously thought.
(excuse sp mistakes as Iam getting drunk at a party :)
