Hiya all,
New member to Anandtech. There are some real good opinions here and thought I would run this by you guys. I maybe should have called this my A64 Diaries, as Im sure I will have even more questions as I go along.
My last Rig I built was several years ago AMDXP1900+. So I have been out of the circuit for a bit.
Anyway Im building a New 64 Rig.
I chose the Thermaltake Tsumani case Im thinking the Aluminum case (+3 stock fans) will help with heat.
and a Samsung Floppy (hey its a FD who cares hehe). Anyway those are on the way.
I bought a Thermaltake 480 PSU recently and love it. I know most people are Antec fans...but the sleeved wiring is excellent and Im getting voltages a lil above normal.
So unless Antec offers the sleeves I think I will stay with TT.
So now heres what I need your reviews on:
AMD64 3200: Havnt seen much discussion about period. Most reviews are for the 3000 or 3400. If its possible I may get the 3400 for the additional $80 or so more...havnt decided yet though..opinions?
Soltek K8AN2E: Not alot of OCing which is fine, I dont plan to go overboard on OCing.
-OR-
DFI Lanparty UT nf3 250: If I can ever find this thing in stock. Has so many features how could you go wrong.
-OR-
MSI Neo Plat: Heard alot of horror stories but looks nice.
-I am done with Asus, I was a long time fan but service and qaulity have been sub-par. So I wont even consider that Company again.
And Ram? No idea because I am stuck in the mobo qaundry.
JPeyton had a wonderful guide posted here! But No review/recomendation on whats listed here.
Any ideas, suggestions, personal reviews etc greatly appreciated.
Thanks
