Want to replace my p4 3.2 With AMD

[Zorro]

What Board and processor would give me the best bang for the buck?

 

[MustISO]

Socket 754 based board and CPU would probably be the best bang for the buck. Something like and MSI Neo or DFI lan party and an A64 3200+ or 3000+.

Why? That's a nice chip.

An A64 2800+ runs $120, plus a Gigabyte 8KNS is $75

Id go with a Nforce4 board and maybe a AMD 3500 processor. The Nforce4 boards are coming down in price and the 754 boards kinda blow. I know someones gonna jump down my throaght on that statement, but if your coming from a decent setup as a P4 3.2, you dont wanna down-grade to a lesser system. The 754 arent even dual channel. My 2 cents.
