thanks. can you pick a good motherboard for me with at least 2 PCI-e slots (3 even better!) for under $100. the MB picked for the athlon isn't compatible (according to pcpartpicker)
Right. I see that now after looking at boards carefully. thanks for your time, appreciate it! (an other guy that replyed too), you guys here are great for us novices.
Uther39 :
More PCI E slots, better OC board for the future and more compatible and better Power system for the 8 core AMD chips.
