Umm, we're a curious bunch, at least I am... just err, wondering what you decided to buy. these are what i decided: 1. MSI RS480M2-IL MOTHERBOARD MATX ATI RS480 S939 DDR PCI-E16 3PCI SATA RAID VIDEO SOUND LAN 1394 with: AMD ATHLON 64 3000+ PROCESSOR S939 WINCHESTER 1.8GHZ 512K L2 CACHE 90NM RETAIL BOX (this will be for someone else -- i guess i'll be the 'technical support' so it has to be good!) 2. ASUS A8V-E DELUXE MOTHERBOARD ATX S939 VIA K8T890 DDR PCI-E16 2PCI-E 3PCI SATA SOUND WI-FI 1394 with: AMD ATHLON 64 3000+ PROCESSOR S939 WINCHESTER 1.8GHZ 512K L2 CACHE 90NM RETAIL BOX and: 3. ASUS P5GDC-V DELUXE MOTHERBOARD LGA775 INTEL 915G DDR2 DDR PCI-E16 2PCI-E 3PCI SATA VID LAN SOUND with either: INTEL PENTIUM 4 P4 530J 3.0GHZ PROCESSOR LGA775 1MB 800MHZ FSB RETAIL BOX or: INTEL PENTIUM 4 520 2.8GHZ PROCESSOR LGA775 800FSB 1MB CACHE HT RETAIL BOX (so not completely decided!) how do they look? i really am grateful for the help i received... (decided on both amd and p4) (and never would have considered amd but i am really looking forward to it now) (haven't finished on the other components yet) Sounds like a "plan".;-) Make sure you get the Athlon64 Cool 'n' Quiet working properly - I just got mine sorted out after thinking it had been sorta working for 4 months and the difference is night & day. here's a thread on the subject: http://forum.msi.com.tw/index.php?threadid=60816 and I found that I had to enable "Minimal Power Management" in WinXP Power settings - "Home/Office Desktop" did not do it. thanks for the tip and for the link! also sorry for misspelling *THANK* (as 'TAHNK') had deleted it but i guess it's there to stay ... for ever......... Happens to everybody. I hear that living with embarrassments is a sign of maturity.:-) -- Rgds, George Macdonald sincerely, Tanya |

I've always found Asus & MSI good reliable stuff so all should be good. I'm sure it'll be interesting to see how they all compare. -- Rgds, George Macdonald |
