hi all zipzoomfly has a deal where this board ends up being $60
I have built many a systems, but have been out of the loop for a while, so I just want to get modern system with a decent MB/cpu to play some of latest games without
spending too much, actually I am pretty cheap, and once I have a system, I prob won't upgrade for a few years and just play mostly same games (preferably at high res and details on)
HL2, UT04, and maybe UT3 is system is good enough
I was thinking of going to a
1) Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 or a E6550
2) 8800GT vid card
3) a motherboard recommended by this thread.
can anyone comment on the
"FOXCONN P35A Core 2 Quad Socket 775 1333MHz PC2-8500 (DDR2-1066) ATX"
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=10005475
board (any issue, success in overclocking)
they also sell
"FOXCONN P9657AB-8EKRS2H Core 2 Quad Socket 775 1066 MHz PC2-6400 (DDR2-800) ATX"
they also sell this for the same price after rebate

heck, maybe foxconn is not the way to go, I am just looking at cheap and the rebate seems
to make a good board seem very attractive, i dig the $50 prive range
currently have a
1) AMD athlon 64 3000+
2) asus A8N SLI,
3) one 6600GT PCI express 128M DDR3 video card
maybe an upgrade is not even warranted, not sure, I am just willing
to upgrade if I can get a significant improvement
thanks so much, the rebate offer of $50 ends today so I hope I get some replies
