just got hooked up with a AMD 64 3800 939 pin for $200 TKE rules! Anyway, what are the new fav mobo and ram out there for this sucker. The guy who sold it to me is pushing me towards his dual channel ram and the NVIDIA GA-K8n, but I am not getting the hook up on them so.......the dilemma
Give me a few minutes, im looking a couple up for you *edit* ABIT "AV8-3rd Eye" VIA K8T800 Pro Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket 939 CPU with Guru Clock http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-127-186&depa=0 ASUS "A8V Deluxe" VIA K8T800 Pro Chipset Motherboard For AMD Socket 939 CPU http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-131-510&depa=0 Im with Procal on the RAM. I put that ASUS up there 'cause that's what i have and it is working out quite nicely!
DFI Ultra Nforce 4 SLI Motherboard - best on market, however you'll need a PCI-e graphics card as it does not use AGP If you do want AGP go for a: Abit AV8 3RD EYE or a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (2 top performing motherboards for AGP&939) As for the Dual Channel - it's upto you, if you want overclocking memory get some G.Skill PC4000 or PC4400 (it runs @ 2-2-2-5 @ DDR 400 (PC3200)) If you want normal good quality memory get: GeIL Value Range memoyr (2x256MB Dual Channel or 2x512MB Dual Channel (or more)) If you want good quality memory without overclocking - still get G.Skill PC4000 or PC4400 - as its the same price as Corsair XL 2-2-2-5 PC3200 but it can safely do 266/277MHz depending on whether you get PC4000/PC4400 and u can overclock it more..
It is all about the hook up, otherwise I wouldn't have given amd64 3500 to my dad, but I figured he need an upgrade, it was a steal, but no I am facing this dilemma!
