On a budget.. Kinda
So, i have "ABOUT" 1k to just toss away into my comp, as of now its as follows
ABIT KN8 Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
XFX PVT70FUNF7 Geforce 7800GTX 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card with 450MHz Core and 1250MHz Memory - Retail
OCZ Peroformance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model OCZ4002048PFDC-K - Retail
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3200BPBOX - Retail
My "biggest" worry is that motherboard.. anyone suggest one in the same price range thats better?
Oh, and anyone looking to upgrade their shit? Got a nice machine sitting here that will need a HD and CD drive and itll be a nice gaming rig that will be for sale..

What's the difference between the Abit AN8 and KN8 series? The AN8 is $94.

By the way, SOAP...do you know about the free motherboard from eVGA with their 7800GT or 7800GTX?
GT:

GTX:

The board is actually supposed to be very good.
Anandtech reviewed the board here:

The Jetway board is the same as the eVGA board. I think they made it for eVGA.

I'm guessing the S/PDIF connections on the AN8 make it a little more expensive.

Toss some offers, remember tho id REALLY like to ship this all out at once, saves me on shipping, and hassle..
and yes its AGP, if it was PCI id not upgrade the card :icon26:

As for the 3500.. i could, but um, clawhammer of vince?
Not to keen on the newer A64s honestly..

Don't the newer ones (Venice & San Diego) have SSE3 and better power management?
What is wrong with that?
I'd like to see some benchmarks how much of a difference CPU speed really makes from a 3000+ on up.
