hi, i am thinking of buying a msi k8n neo motherboard, will it work with the amd athlon 64 3000? THANKS

Yes it will. However, there are many K8N variants... which one are you looking at?

the only one at new egg....http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=13-130-457&catalog=23&manufactory=BROWSE

i know it says 3400 and up, but some people told me that it works..so im not sure( i wont be overclocking)

 

[JoeFaheyx]

so will it?

My 3000+ works in this motherboard just fine

3400+ and up means it will work with 3400 and newer chips, does not mean it wont work with slower chips. It says 3400 because that was the fastest chip available when it was released. It is rare that a borad works with faster processors and not slower ones (as long as they are the same core/pincount...) Ie if a board works with a 3400 then it will work with 2800 - 3700, while if a board works with a northwood 3.4 it will certianly work with a 2.4...
