hey thanks for the help! well i really cant spend so much to get a corei7 extreme what i can do is get a phenom II since its an affordable quad core, do you think phenom II will benefit me or is there a better alternative? also for matlab, 8 gb ddr2 800 or 4 gb ddr2 1066?

hey guys thanks for the input! im probably going to go with the phenom II build, what do u think of this case and psu? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147114 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153052 and maybe this ram...

Yes that is quite true, biostart hasnt even updated info for the TA790GX which they claim fully supports phenom II i know that this board will support it for you http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138128 i would suggest that if you go for a phenom II build definitely try...

Hi Guys I need some advice on building the best rig for 600 dollars for running Matlab and some linux. I dont care for the case or big graphics cards, i would probably be okay with a 8400 GS and a simple case. Ive posted this in the CPU column too, i am undecided between dual core or quad core...

Thanks for the help Ken! Well i made my build last week with the phenom II and ASUS M3a78-t and it went phenomenal not a hint of hesitation, the board shipped from newegg with a 0602 bios and fully recognized the phenom II the build is running beautifully, its eating VS 2008 and photoshop for...

Thanks for the info natev. Just to help other people bumping into this thread, while i have been gathering info seems that the MSI DKA790GX and the ASUS M3A78-t will support the phenom II but just wont recognize it if they dont ship with the latest bios. So u can probably upgrade the latest...

Quick question, which one of these would u recommend to use with a phenom II and 790gx mb. OS will be 64-bit and use will be video editing, photoshop and gaming. All are 2x2 gb Crucial Ballistix 800 at 4-4-4-12 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148212 GSkill 1066 at...

jawallace...so your MSI worked out of the box directly for you? you guys have any idea if this ASRock board http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157141 ships with a supported bios since it says AM3 CPU ready?

brendin your talking about much older dual core processors while im trying to get a decent quad which is giving me good value for money. anyway thats not the point of my post, i need help with my motherboard which can run out of the box for me.

well im on a limited budget and ideally i would want a 790GX/FX chipset not more than $130 maybe the biostar TA790gX? again the main issue is straight out compatibility with phenom II without an update
