hello,
my problem: I was planning on getting a 939 set up:
AMD Athlon 3700+
Asrock 939SLI32-Esata2 mobo
7900GT
1 gb OCZ Platinum EL
but the AM2's seem to be priced nicely, but since there are no AM2 budget mobo's it wouldn't be SLI compatible, the DDR2 timings are slower too, but I don't know what that means.
The asrock mobo has some sort of extra slot with which you can upgrade to AM2/DDR2 later with a daughter card
would it be better to just get the 939/sli and use the daughter card thing to get AM2 or just get a AM2 setup right away, but no SLI.
And how does this daughter card thing actually work?
