. DFI LANPARTY UT NF4 ULTRA-D MOTHERBOARD ATX S939 $159.94

Get a Venice. Also buy cheaper RAM. Low latency does jack for the A64.

$339 for 1 gig of ram?!?!?!?! Low latency DOES help the A64 a lot, but man, i got some OCZ gold that runs 2-2-2-5 for $149 off of newegg.

You have Athlon 64 3000+ NC @ 2.0ghz as your proc., it doesnt exist, 3000+ is 1.8, 3200 is 2.0ghz, and the 3000+ and 3200+ are Winchester or Venice only (make sure your looking at Socket 939 processors).

Not really...

It is also obvious you don't read the original post as he stated those are canadian prices...
