Yeah, DDR2 doesn't work with socket 939. You planning on getting a video card?
 
if ur not going sli, i'd recommend somthing like the Geforce 7900 or 7800 or even the 7600

there all great video cards
 
For around $300-$350 on your video card you can get either a 7900GT or an X1800XT, depending on your preference about which company you like better. The cards are about equal in performance and image quality. For less, the 7600 is a very good value card, one of the best dollar-per-FPS ratio cards available.

This is where im at so far...
 
What's the point of getting a board with SLI if you're getting an ATI card? It's a good board and all, it just seems like a waste of money to me.
 
Going to overclock much? No point in spending the extra money to run your RAM at stock. ;)
 
yeah if your gonna get that nice asus board (with sli ***) then you should definetly get an nvidia card
 
Im sorry, i dont know much about computers anymore, im guessing that SLI is dual video cards? The reason i chose the ati is i now plan on getting the 1900 all in wonder video card, for its vivo abilities.. I can change by order now if you guys can recommend a better card for me. Im starting to do my research now but im way behind on computers compared to you guys, i appreciate the help..

This was the ati card i was considering...

Oh and i was also planning on outputting the video from the computer to an HDTV,
The tv im looking at right now is the 50" Samsung HLR5064, for "1999" CDN.
