I'm starting my pre-shopping for a new MB and CPU. I would like to stick with AMD and would like to jump into a board with PCI-e compatibility. I was in a local store tonight and saw decent pricing on some ABIT 939 socket MB's (EDIT: nForce4). Obviously I'd like to jump up to 64bit 3xxxx cpu's. Are the ABIT's decent MB's?
If not, can someone point me in the right direction for other decent MB's? I'm looking for 2 years or so of stability. I don't OC, as I am too fearful of killing hardware. I'm planning on putting it in a large upright case with 500w powersupply. Any idea's on decent mb's around 300-400 dollars max (will pay less if I can but max would be 3-400 dollars)? Also, I would like a MB that would allow 4 or more G of ram (mine (EDIT: nForce(1)) curently only accepts 2G I think).
Thank you in advance for any help,
Madodese
