New build checklist..

[xhail]

CPU: AMD Opteron 148 Venus 939
Mobo: DFI Lanparty UT nf4 Ultra-D
RAM: 1G Mushkin XP3200 DDR400 (512 X 2)
Video: eVGA 256 Geforce 6800 PCI-E 16x
Power: Antec SmartPower 2.0 450W

1. Is there a better motherboard for the price that I should get? All my past computers have been either Abit or Asus, but I wanted to try something new out. Any reason I shouldn't? If not this motherboard, I was thinking of going Asus A8N-E

2. On DFI's website, it says that the motherboard supports
# AMD® Athlon 64 X2 / Athlon 64 FX / Athlon 64 / Sempron
# Socket 939
Will this mean that the Opteron will not work on this mobo?

Thanks
