Hello all,

I'm looking to build a Dual Core system, money is no object, my customer wants die hard performance and is willing to pay for it. The system is purely a workstation, no games.

For the record, the customer intends to use Photoshop and other super intensive image editing programs (not sure about video yet).

Currently, I have chose the following parts, and before I move onto picking out other parts, I want to know if the primary parts are a good combination and want to make sure it's not going to become a paper weight in front of the customer.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800
ASUS A8N-E Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX
4xXMS 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) (4 GB of ram)

Currently, I see no reason why this configuration won’t work, but I have not found a site that reviews this motherboard for some odd crazy reason, so I am not quite sure.

Right now my only concern is if the motherboard will support the CPU out of the box (no BIOS update), since I don't want to buy a low end socket 939 just to update the BIOS for the dual core CPU.

Does any one has any suggestions?

Thanks!
