Hey guys. I need an inexpensive(under or around $100) but stable socket 939 mobo to overclock my Opteron 146. The board should have only 1 PCI-e x16 slot since I dont plan on using SLI/Crossfire. I also need it to have PCI bus locks to keep the bus from being overclocked, and should have the...

if that's true, that is just absurd. maybe it is true. both of my items are still being 'processed'. i've ordered other parts for the system i am building from other places AFTER i ordered the 146 cpu(last Wednesday) . some of the parts have arrived already, everything else will arrive today...

HI. Long time lurker here, well in the Intel forum anyway. :) I just acquired an A8N SLI Deluxe board for free. My Intel box is getting long in the tooth so I've decided to try another AMD build again. I haven't built an AMD box in years. Had a bad experience the last time around. Anyways, I...
