I currently have an x2 3800, and an AGP board. I want to upgrade in about a month from now, so the usual review reading will begin.

I basically need a PCI-E board that will best house my new x1800XT. I doubt I will ever be able to afford two of them, and tbh, i dont think its worth it (will prolly upgrade again) so I dont think crossfire is for me.

Basically, I will have 2x SATA drives, my x2 3800, 2gb DDR (tips on cheap 3200 ram?) and my new gfx.

Can someone recommend a board that will be stable, feature filled (with good onboard sound) and something that can be clocked easily (like the old asus s478 boards were, percent by percent)

thx guys
 
Everyone will have their own opinion on this, but my recommendation for a good 939 mobo is the ASUS A8N-SLI Premium.

Its a fully featured board, uses a *Mature* chipset, has lots of options and is no nonsense!

If your main use of the PC is just overclocking/benchmarking then give the DFI series a close look, but if you want a tank-mobo that can do everything the A8N-Premium is hard to beat, used it for 2 months now (my first A64 system!) and its very good.
 
I should have said. I'm a keen gamer, and obviously multi-tasking, and program etc too. Whether that has an effect on the choice of boards, i have no idea. But a bit of extra info never goes a miss :)
 
The only reason I went for the same board was because it had been around quite a while & a majority of people from various forums gave it very good reccomendations etc. I'm very happy with mine although I havent really overclocked, besides with the latter bios revisions giving a max of 1.5v I'm kinda stuck at stock but you shoudnt have any problems anyway with the newer cores as they run on a lower voltage anyway.
 
why don'y you actually read some of the 10,000 posts already made on the same subject?

This has been covered again and again and again!
