Hey all
I know what cpu Im going to get now what one of these motherboards (http://www2.amd.com/us-en/recmobo/ResultsHandler/1,,30_182_869_9460^9461~73649,00.html) should I get ? I think it should be the Asus. I dont know anything about the nvida nForce 3 boards.

i wouldnt get a amd 64 yet, as they are overpriced, buggy and the proper software isnt out.

your probaly better off getting the Asus A7N8X Deluxe rev2.0 motherboard and a 2500+ barton cpu

I agree on that one, the Asus A7NX8 board is realy a nice mobo with lots of features and its realy stable.

You wont be sorry ;)

Edit:
O and normaly im not realy keen on onboard sound, but nvidias soundstorm on this mobo is realy amazing :D , its compared to some top of the line soundcards.
