    I need HELP!!! Choosing a budget Athlon 64 mobo combo

    hmmmm, now we have another runner. EPoX EP-9NDA3J with Athlon 64 3200+ combo So it looks like the Tiger Direct combo is out. It is between these last 2. I'm still leaning towards the Gigabyte combo. Any opinions?

    I need HELP!!! Choosing a budget Athlon 64 mobo combo

    so my ram will in fact work with a dual channel 939, it just will not be dual channel until I buy the correct ram. OK. I think I will go for the Gigabyte K8NS-939 Athlon 64 3200+ combo. Sound like the right choice for what I am looking for?
