That is a good motherboard (not very good) but the CPU is very good (who cares about frequency if it`s better then a 3200 Ghz Pentium ? And it is much better then the 3200 Pentium ! ) But the great news is you can install WINDOWS 64BIT ( The Best ) !!!! It`s a hole new world there !!!! (You`ll have some problems with drivers). Also you can use XP on another partition of the HDD for games...In a CPU speed (Ghz) is nothing without intelligence... Bye!

Question. If you're buying all new, why go with socket 754 over socket 939? Socket 939 has a longer upgrade path and supports more bandwidth than socket 754. Just some comparisons at AMD's website.

... nice.

Do you think DVDShrink will run on XP 64 Bit

JSB

It may not run 64-bit Native, but you'll still have the benefit of 32-bit processing and I'm sure XP64 will support 32-bit apps. There's not much call for an OS that runs only a handful of apps that aren't compatible with much else.

That's what Macs are for.:P
(Yes, I know there are plenty of apps; just not nearly as many as PCs.)

Damn it... I can not find the video of "Gaming on a MAC" .... all the really cool games like... well .... there is Zork.

OK, so where can i get a combo with a AMD 3400 for around 300$? I can wait on the RAM. i just want to buy the cobo now so i dont waste my saved money on somthing else.

A plus would be that the company that sells it also builds it for you and puts the BIOS in as i dont really know how to do that! Thanks for the Help.

still beta though

I ordered from BZBoyz about 3 years ago with no problem, but after reading the reviews, I wouldn't order from them now. I just ordered an AMD ATHLON 64 3200+ w/fan and it came with that same motherboard, the ECS 755-A2. I only paid $203.00 total. I've been using ECS motherboards for 3 years now. I have 2 of them. Never a problem, no defects.
Thanks HatchetMan for posting that link for Windows 64bit. I didn't know that was out there. When I receive my new computer, I'll be installing that. I'm also getting a SATA 200 GB hard drive. I'm excited.

[gooberguy]

Where did you get that from for 203$?

[briandugas]

I only got the motherboard and chip for $203.00. I got it at http://www.pcontime.net. Of course, I just ordered it, so I haven't received it yet. I'll be curious to see if it arrives in a timely manner and if it works.

I have that exact ECS board in a render box at work. It works OK, but the bios choices are quite limited. I'd suggest the following:

BTW, these AMD 64 Systems are FAST, and they run COOL.
