Back to the topic, I have this exact combo sitting at home, the tiger is a solid board... a little dodgy being one of the first dual athlon boards, mines been running 2 athlon 1600 xp processors for over 8 months now. Every once in a while I'll get a blue screen memory error but I think it's because I'm not using registered memory. But that only happens every once in a while. Also... be prepared to lay down some duckets for good coolers... these things run HOT!!! and no... no usb 2.0 but I got a usb 2.0 card for 15 bucks on ebay....
