I'm pissed at Intel for changing everything at once. At least I can get an nForce 4 board and still use my OZC memory that I recently purchased. How do this look together?

I've been and Intel man a long time, but if AMD is really faster then I want some!!! :eek:
 
If AMD is faster? No "if" there man, none at all. My 3200+ kills my dad's 3.4 whatever 6xx series PIV. The only thing, unless you get an X2, don't plan on any awsome multi-tasking.

With the DFI socket 939 board, you need a socket 939 processor, so that cpu has got to go.

3000+ venice perhaps with a nice OC?

See my sig. Get an ASUS A8N-SLI, decent overclocking, same price, exponentially less headache, and SLI to boot.

Also, I would advise an X2. nVidia is about to release Dual-Core drivers, and you will certainly want that with your 7800. Not to mention the increase in multi-tasking performance.
 
I think I'm going to go with the ABIT AN8-ULTRA Socket 939.

I just cannot afford an X2 at the moment since I have to do all 3 of these at once. :(
 
hardocp had some pretty big issues with the AN8 Ultra, i would check out their review if i were you. one resounding thing i got from it was htat hte board would not complete their usual stability tests. OCing was a PITA on it too.
