[help] Best Mobo And Cpu Combo

I was wondering what MoBo and CPU combo would you suggest for an AMD based computer.

If anyone is wondering, I recently just purchased a Chaintech and a 64 3200 and it was a great match. No problems what-so-ever and It ran Prime95 for the complete 24.

i'm going to wait a while for 64bit, but for xp chips, i like:

abit nf7-s + mobile 2400+/2500+ barton chips.

the abit is stable, fast, a good overclocker, and feature-loaded. the mobile chips are a good choice because:

1. they have a lower default voltage, so they run cooler

2. unlocked

3. 1 + 2 = good overclocker

4. it's the cream of the crop.

i still have an old 2000+ tbred, but if i were ever to upgrade my chip, i'd go for a nice mobile chip.

well ever think of buying a shuttle cube there affordable.

200$ gets u a SN45G

i took that running a athlon 2500+ unlocked running 2.2ghz

:D

plus its a small cube, towers are overrated. pwhaha the only reason why i would have a tower is if im raiding and doing a file server. :)
