Well hey yeah im new hi everybody! Now time to talk computers, well im getting a new Processor - AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 1GHz FSB 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939 Dual Core and yes i need a new Motherboard. I need it to be low cost but at the same time can do a good job.

PS how much power am i going to be needing for it?

Thanks,

you'll need a socket 939 mobo... but what would be best depends on your price range (what's not too much?), what you plan to do with your new rig, and what other components you plan on putting with it.

Do you need a hd, gfx card, optical drives, case etc?

if you have an agp gfx card are you planning on keeping it or switching to pcie (switch if at all possible!)

do you plan on overclocking? if so DFI makes the best boards for that and you will want a good psu and aftermarket cooling.

fill out your rig info and then we'll be able to better help you.
