rumble. to ensure the right product i would contact amd directly.
(amd.com) this is a fast moving field and changes rapidly with all sorts of new products. what i might recommend today, something better might be out tomorrow. amd also have various info on motherboards and a knowledge base. if you google there are also several amd motherboard sites.
one thing i should mention thats important is the power supply.
people spend soooo much on the processor , then they chintz on the power supply to save money. this can lead to processor problems. the proper overspecd power supply is VITAL.
the situation that often occurs is people build a system with a certain power supply ...then a year down the road add more peripherals and sometimes
the power supply cant keep up with all the demands on it.
so - choose a power supply that will ALSO be able to handle any additional things you put in your pc in the future.
with the right set up an amd 64 system should last you a very very long time. also i posted in the computer sound card section a link headed
amd64/4000 that analyses amd 64 performance in detail.
the link is choc full of details and well worth a read.
peace.
