Yo.
I'm building from scratch and have most of the essentials (At least I have them in mind...).
Here's what I got:
Athlon64 X2 3800
GeForce 6800 256mb
Western Digital Raptor, 10,000 RPM 74gb SATA
What I need out of a MOBO:
939 Socket compatible with and X2
PCI Express for the Video Card
SATA Compatible
Preferibly Good Sound *Optical* and LAN aboard
Enough PCI Slots
Dual Channel possible and at least 2 g of RAM
I was looking at this:
MSI K8N Neo4 SLI Socket 939 ATX
and one of the GIGABYTE comparable ones.
QUESTIONS:
1. Am I good with the MSI?
2. Any higher quality MOBO brands? I heard ASUS was lacking with AMD
3. What exactly is the difference with the SLI ones...
Thanks
