Can anyone help me find a good motherboard to go with a athlon 64 3800? I want to built a very good system for gaming, and to do whatever i want.

Would you guys recommend 2 sticks of 512mb or 1 stick of 1gig?

i use a MSI KN8 Diamond with an Athlon 64 X2 4400 - works quite fast...

and i suggest 2 x 1gb ram

Have you been shopping at Pricewatch? www.pricewatch.com

Chaldoray · 10-30-2005, 02:23 PM

Yes, i shop at pricewatch.

What's the best site? Newegg.com is good, but they rape me on taxes since i'm in ca.

Gigabyte or asus?

Can you tell me the best gigabyte board? One for around 100-200 for a motherboard.

I'm using an MSI K8N Diamond in my gaming machine, it's a great mobo. Go with PCIe for graphics and I'd also say use 2 x 1GB ram modules.

And if you want fast loading times get a 74GB raptor.

Actually I would recommend 2gigs... why save when you want the best and Rams are so cheap?

butterflybucks · 10-31-2005, 06:06 AM

Go with a 500w power supply. 2G of ram, ATA hard drives. fast chip, nice motherboard. Big case with extra fans. My home built computers are sweet and never give me problems.
