I'm trying to keep temps under 50C at full load, since the
place we're living in now is not air-conditioned and gets
brutally hot during summer/early fall months. That's why
I opted for an older P3 instead of a P4 or Athlon system.
I don't know what the upper operating range will be until
July or August.
Also, this system is in a living room so I'm trying to keep
noise to a minimum as well.

Last year we were dealing with ambient temps over 90F
inside this apartment, during afternoon/evening hours.

It's good quality Infineon PC133 CL2, which I've run as
high as 150fsb CL2 on another system. Also, from what
I've read, dimm slots 2&3 on the TUSL2 share power,
and having all 3 slots populated can cause instability. So
I opted for 2 x 256MB (512MB dimms are supported
on this board, but they're too expensive).

That might be true on some boards. However on the TUSL2
Asus claims AGP4X must be initialized in the system bios
before Windows' video driver takes over, or else 4X is not
enabled under any circumstance. Not that 4X is any great
leap of performance -- I know it's only ~5% but I do a fair
amount of gaming, and with the older CPU I need all the
help I can get
Anyway thanks a lot for the info!
