Hi all

[markuk]

Just like to say hello to all, need some info if poss

ok the problem is i need a PCI-E motherboard ,i know they are not hear yet, but can't make my mind up which to go for, as this is what i will be running on the new setup,
AMD Athlon FX55 (Socket 939)
Western Digital Raptor 36.7GB 10,000RPM
Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10,000RPM
Corsair 1GB DDR XMS4000 Pro TwinX (2x512MB)
Sapphire ATI Radeon X800 XT 256MB (PCI-Express)
OCZ PowerStream 520w
Plextor PX-712A 12x4x DVDRW (Black)

Some people i'v asked have told me to go for the MSI K8N Neo4 Diamond nForce4 SLi (Socket 939), someone said the sli was for the nvidia cards and was copywrite so i dont really no what to look at,
all i do know ,is i will not go back to a nvidia card, as i spent £425 on a 6800 ultra and it would not run 3d benchmark 2003 without breaking up the picture

Cheers mark

Hi

Not sure where you are to now.

I've been waiting months to get all the components for a similar build. The last 3 bits - Asus A8N-SLi Deluxe, Asus EAX800XT PE and FX-55 turned up over last few days.

I went for the A8N simply because it gave the all the same features as the nForce4 Ultra and was available before XMAS. I have no intention of using nvidia graphics or SLi.

Will be doing build over next few days.

Let me know how you got on.

Paul.
