Don't know if this is a good price but...

Picked this up today:

Asus A7M266D Dual Socket MB. Price was $239. The box has a warning on the front stating the add in card is USB 2.0, however keep in mind you can not use a USB keyboard to access the BIOS.

The Athlon XP MP 1900+ cpu's were $285 each. The DDR Ram was $159 per 512Meg stick.

Is anyone actually using USB 2 yet? Does it resolve the problems you often see when you have more than one or two devices plugged in at one time?

Check out Gigabyte for all types of boards with USB 2.0 on them, the latest using the KT333 chipset.
