i've been searching over the boards this morning, doing some research and asking advice. thanks for all the advice btw, it was very helpful.
this is what i've come up with for a potential purchase:
ASUS A8V DELUXE Socket 939 VIA K8T800 Pro ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
110.00
OCZ Premier Value 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model OCZ4002048V3DC-K - Retail
190.00
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice Integrated into Chip FSB Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3200BPBOX - Retail
192.00
it fits my price range nicely and its a pretty solid upgrade over my asus a7v8x, athlon xp 2400+, and 1 gig 2700 (maybe 2400 i forget). i'm just wondering if there are any glaring inconsistencies or incompatibilities.
the one question mark is the asus board. i've always been an asus man so it was my first instinct. however, i know every company has a bad day, i'm hoping this isn't the case with a8v cause it fits the bill nicely.
few more details, i just got an Antec NeoPower ATX 480W Power Supply - Retail a couple months back so power shouldn't be an issue. im also using a BFG 6800 GT and an audigy 2. also have 2 maxtor 160 GB drives in a performance raid array. that's all i can think of for potential incompatibilities.
thanks a lot for any advice.
