Hello,
I will soon be building a new computer, and am looking at motherboards at the moment, but there are a few things i am unsure of. Some of the motherboards have nvidia components, eg NVIDIA nForce chipsets, ethernet, firewall etc. To me, nvidia was a graphics card manufacturer. If i buy an "nvidia" board, can i use a socket 939 amd processor, with an ati radeon card?
Secondly, what motherboard can you suggest for an athlon XP(3700 or 3800 single),and an ati card (x1800 either 256 or 512)? Good performance is all i am after. An onboard soundcard is optional, only 2pci slots are needed. (i believe pci is now pci-e?).
Regards,
perplexed.
