Re: Motherboard conked.Suggestions for a new mobo/processor

Hi

I just put together a new system for Desktop/Workstation use. I run 3
U320 scsi drives off an Adaptec scsi host adapter. Therefore I required a
PCI-X slot and opted for the ASUS M2N32 WS. This will support an FX62 if I
decide later I could use that. However, with the need to conserve cash I
opted for the X2 4600+. The board is SLI compatible and comes with the sli
cable should you need to pair up video cards. All in all it's a nice combo
that should serve my needs for some time. Hope this helps.

Hi

I have the following system
Intel P4-2.4ghz processor on a D845gvsr mobo
256mb RAM
Samsung combo drive(CD-R +DVD)
2 40gig HDD.
The whole system was assembled in Oct 2004

Recently my pc stopped working and I was told that it is a motherboard
problem and needs to be replaced.
Now I am looking for a mobo+processor combo and many friends suggested
AMD64 based processors.
Points to be considered
1. My usage is limited to basic office applications, surfing, songs,
videos, chat etc ie a desktop user.
2. I need to run some games on it for my kid and as such also need XP as
my primary OS
3. Being a linux enthu most of my usage is on a Linux distro.
4. I also try out various new distros.

Is it advisable to go for a AMD processor and motherboard combo.
If yes---What are the suitable configs (AMD+mobo)
If no----- What are the alternatives (Pentium etc)

Thanks
Ninad
