    Best OS for a KT266A MOBO?????

    Yegolev. Same philosophy - I'm running 8KHA+ also. I'm waiting for Geforce3's to become affordable. The Gf2-MX easily handles everything I throw at it. 3dmark2001 = 3,000

    Best OS for a KT266A MOBO?????

    I've read the limit on Win9x/ME is 512 Meg. If you go above this, you'll have problems. This is an article on the subject: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/14967.html I'm running dual-boot Win98SE and Red Hat 7.2 on a KT266A. Both run fine. I'll upgrade my OS when WinXP SE comes out.

    motherboard fun & games

    The GA-7VTXE BIOS doesn't allow you to adjust the multiplier. So, even if you unlock the Duron, there's no option to run at a higher multiplier.

    Do I need to put anything between processor and cooler?

    He doesn't mention overclocking so I suspect heat isn't the enemy here. A quick and easy test would be to run the PC with the case open and see if it stabilizes or at least runs longer before a lockup. (My system temp is 23C open, 33C closed.) If it still locks up... I suggest(ed) checking...

    Do I need to put anything between processor and cooler?

The symptoms you describe could be overheating but this could also be memory problems. Are you sure your memory is compatible with the new motherboard? To be safe, set...
