ok so i was thinking right. AM2 doesnt support DDR3 plain and simple. will continue to browse through the AMD mobos till i find one that will work for me.
thats fine. board help is what im after, ill take a look at that one. and i would use my current cpu, but wasnt sure if AM2 supports DDR3, i dont think it does but i could be wrong. also wanted more ram, but DDR2 is super spendy now.
ok, ill back down to another quad core.
prolly a 955
can anyone recomend a good board to get then that can run a single 260GTX and the 955 fine and isn't anymore than 150$. AMD or nvidia, doesnt matter, not gonna worry about SLI or anything atm. can upgrade to match board later.
Id rather wait till the new AM3+ platform comes out, but if i don't do this now i don't know the next time ill have spare money for any upgrades.
