What I have or another Fanless Chipset cooling board is what I'd recommend.

As for Memory, if you're going for 2GB do the 2 x 1GB, not 4 x 512MB. It'll save some headaches and performance.

This looks like the winner

Best motherboard for the money, and in my opinion best SLI motherboard.

I looked at that board side by side with the asus board , Msi was looking good till I saw the asus board. The asus has better support for expansion on Amd Processors , where as the Msi board only supported up too the 4000 series.

thanx though

MSI supports all AMD proceesors, I have it, I will be getting the X2 3800+ and it suports the X2 4800+, trust me it will support up to a 4800+

 

[shrewd]

you might want to check the MSI website , it says 4000 max

my bad I see it gos up to
CPU
? Supports 64-bit AMD® Athlon? 64FX/64 processor (Socket 939)
? Supports 3000+ (D0), 3200+ (D0), 3500+, 3800+, 4000+, FX53 and FX55

But I dont see the support the 57

...Any S939 motherboard supports any S939 CPU with a simple BIOS flash. It'll work. Just ignore the website. Anyways, SLI'd 7800GT's is retarded. You'd be much better off spending the money on a single 7800GTX while saving like $200+ and using that to upgrade to a better card later. SLI is the biggest waste of money ever. A single 7800GT performs at least as well as SLI'd 6800 Ultras. The only purpose of SLI is to get 2 of the fastest video cards on the market to have the most powerful graphics solution that nothing else can rival. So it's basically for people that want extreme performance and can't wait for next gen cards.
