Hey all. So my comp is dead and I am posting this off my dads old Micron laptop that is running Win98. Here is my new setup that will be ordered tonight. One thing I really wanted was the new DFI Lanparty mobo but not one place on the intraweb has one so I need to know what the next best option is... Here is the setup.

A64 3200+ Socket 754
WD74g Raptor
eVGA GeForce6800 GT
1Gig Kingston HyperX PC4000 DDR500
...some dvdr drive, etc.

What mobo is going to run best with this setup minus the DFI lanparty board? Thanks all.

If you have any interest in ocing, an Abit KV8 Pro. I doubt you'll find a better board for overclocking.

I noticed that ABIT Board is Socket 939....will the 3200+ work if its Socket 754?

no it will not. you need a Socket-754 board for a 754 CPU, and vice versa for a 939 board + CPU. glad you asked :)

The KV8 (http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/products.php?categories=1&model=176) is 754. The AV8 is 939.
