After some debate and suggestions I have decided to try something new and settled on this AMD Athlon 64 4000+ instead of the 3.4 ghz 800FSB P4. Really hoping that the AMD chip linked is comparable or better performance wise to the P4 I went looking for a motherboard to match.
I have to admit that first and foremost I was thrown off by how cheap the AMD mobos were. I am looking for an AMD mobo that has Socket 939, an AGP x4/x8 slot, SATA II, and can support DDR memory. Firewire or USB 2.0 is optional but much appreciated. If anyone can recommend an AMD motherboard for me that meets all or most of those specifications (the Socket and an AGP slot are a must) I would be very grateful!
Also, I'm wondering - what is better San Diego or Clawhammer core?
I look forward to reading your replies!
Edit: Just in case, the hassle about the AGP is because I want to use my GeForce 6800 GT OC card.
