Yoko · 3 May 2006 at 19:14

Ive just jumped on the opteron bandwagon and purchased an oem opty 146
my system spec is in my sig so ill need a new mobo and hsf just to try it out
i need a mobo that supports agp and id like to get to be able to hit 250+fsb on the mobo
im thinking of an asrock dual for the pci-e slot
any advice?
ps as low a price point as possible with as big an fsb oc as poss

Its the Asrock Dual board the one with AGP and PCI-E slots

what bios version would i need in an msi k8n neo2 platinum to run an opty?
ive seen a few for about 40 quid and im tempted by the lure of 300htt lol

i like the idea of a dfi board but they are hard to come by for less than 50 quid unfortunately which is about my budget at the moment

thanks for the quick reply
ill keep my fingers crossed that it comes with a bios that will let me boot unfortunatly i dont know anyone with a socket 939 cpu
newest cpu from peeps i know is an AMD 3200+ but its socket 754

know all i need is a good cooler

my case aint great, rear, side and top 80mm fans, no front intakes sadly and case temps hit about 38 max in summer

i dont have a huge amount of room above the cpu ( from a side on view of the case ) so would the artic cooling be the best solution as equally, im on a budget
