First of all, I am a new member to this forum, and I have own my pulsar for about 2 year, now. I have a few things list in my sig. Not that I am trying to show off, let me make that clear, I do this in car forums all da time.
I almost brough a mobo with VIA chipset. I have never realize all those issues that I must be aware of with my Pulsar.
In a way I should feel lucky that I didn't throw my money away, BUT at the same time, I have reconsider what to get all over again...
Maybe I will wait a bit and get the new P4 system with the i845 chipset then...
Almost got the AMD with VIA chipset!!!
Damn, my sig didn't show like what I expected.
Well, have the P3-600, with a VIA chipset. To be honest, I have never really seem to run of PCI bandwith.
I am getting a new system because my current system is dying (bad powersupply, bad harddrive, loud as hell)
I was gonna get a mobo with VIA chipset again, but thank got I didn't. Don't know what to get now thought...

I have an nForce in my lab right now. I will give you it's PCI performance after the weekend, if an AMD is still of interest to you. If it's good, then I suspect ideally we'd all want the still-coming striped down version of nForce called i415 -- still dual channel DDR - but without onboard sound/video. Can't wait to find out the results myself - watch this forum
Otherwise, I would probably go with either ASUS P4B266 or ASUS P4TE, i845-DDR or i850. Both have great PCI performance and good memory bandwidth to feed a new Northwood P4... quiet, cool, and a great match with Creamware stuff.

Thanks for the info, my P3-600 system is dying right, now.
I outta pick up my new system 2 weeks ago, but when I realized that the VIA chipset is not good for Pulsar. I decided that I might have to go with the Northwood P4, since I don't want the AMD chipset to go with my XP.
Perhaps I will also wait and see how the strip down nForce chipset will do.
BTW, I have the VIA chipset right, now. and I only had the problem with the PCI overflow once. I only got 4 DSP on my Pulsar I, and I am not even pushing it hard. So, I guess that's why.
