Hi guys!

I'm building myself (or more like upgrading) a new setup.

Specs:

- Athlon 64 s939 3200+ Venice core 90nm (box with stock HSF)
- MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard
- 6800 Ultra or X800XT-PE
- 2GIG of Kingston KVR ram PC-3200 (4x 512)
- OCZ PowerStream 520w PSU
- Antec Sonata + low rpm volt modded 120mm fans
- 2x 120GB Seagate SATA HDD

Some stuff like the drives, ram and power supply are from my
current rig. I have both vidcards but haven't deciced which to
keep.

This is my first step into the 64-bit realm. I might ocee a little
but mainly, I'm looking at something ultra quiet and stable.

Any input would be appreciated :)
 
That is a NF3 AGP setup right? If so the Epox 9NDA3+ would be a better performer and would take that Venice just to about 2.6-2.7 with the mem on a divider.
 
Ya I heard good things about the ePOX mobo. But I'm in Montreal (Canada) and it
was next to impossible to locate one.
 
You can ask a member here for the stuff to be shipped to him and then for him to ship it to you, it would cost you about 15-20$ extra and I'm sure someone is willing to help you out.
 
Im thinking of going all the way, loosing the AGP for PCIex.

Is there a performance boost beetween the Asus A8N and the deluxe
version? As far as I see on their website, the deluxe offers dual lan and
dual raid which I doubt I'll need or use.
