Hey everyone, I'd like your opinion and advice on my planned upgrade (in a few weeks). I'm planning on getting a new cpu/mobo: AMD Athlon 64 4000+ 2.4GHz and either this Asus board or this MSI mobo. The new parts will be in a system with 2 IDE HDDs,2 DVD drives,485 watt enermax PSU, and an ATI x1800XL card. The computer will be used mainly for playing video games ( :D), doing homework, surfing, and watching movies (no overclocking). Are those mobo's compatible with that CPU? Would you guys recommend a different mobo? I don't mind spend a little extra for quality and stable parts. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
 
Well, if you're not overclocking, then my usual DFI recommendation is out the door. I don't think you can go wrong either way, TBH
 
Yeah both MSI and Asus make boards that will work with that chip.

I personally prefer the Asus board but you really cant go wrong with the msi one either. Just pick the one thats cheaper
