: I'm looking to put a PC together for my gaming needs, as well as for the occasional graphics work that I do.

: I was basically thinking of going for an 1.2GHZ AMD Thunderbird system with a GForce card that has TV-OUT.
: I was looking ata :
: FIC AZ11E w/AMD Thunderbird 1.2Ghz CPU & Heatsink/Fan

: Do these run everything just like an Intel as far as Win98 SE is concerned? Sorry, I've just only ever used Intel processors, so I don't know. I only speak Intel.

: Also, anyone have any experience dealing with www.econopc.com out of california?

: Thanks for your time

I have built 2 t-bird systems over the past couple of months. Everyone has their favorites, but I find the ASUS A7M266 to be a very stable board. It is a little more expensive, but well worth it, in IMHO.
