I need new mobo.... dunno what to get

Its been awhile since i built any new PC's so all of this stuff is a little new to me again, im gonna get a new CPU (AMD Athlon 64 3400+ Newcastle) , im also planing to use SATA , im a big fan of Abit, and i hear alot of good things about DFI , so are there any good motherboard recomendations ??? also i plan to overclock, so any help will be great

Well, go PCI-E, if you have a decent AGP card (i don't think you do somehow) go for a AsRock dual-sata 2 it has AGP,PCI-E, socket 939, and support for a socket 940 (AM2).
If not i reccomend the ASUS A8N-SLI, the DFI LanParty NF4 SLI-DR EXPERT, or if ur gunna go crossfire DFI LanParty UT RDX200CF-DR Crossfire all are good boards. If you want to get a really damn fast system, go for either the Abit AN8 SLi Fatal1ty nForce4 SLi , wait for the Abit AN8-32X nForce4 SLi or go for the Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe nForce4 SLi X16. All are great mobos.

I like the DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR

lol i didnt even know they made pci videocards

and i still dont know exactly what SLI is ... i guess its been awhile

now off to find a PCI-E videocard

if i had an athlon xp runnign at [email protected]d it be worht it to spend the the 400 to get a athlon 64 and mobo>?

correction, the 940 pin posted is NOT compatible with the soon to appear AM2 mobo's

I'm a pretty big fan of the board in my sig. It won't get every last mhz out of a chip but then again it isn't as picky as a dfi on some things.

I'm very pleased with my DFI NF4 Ultra-D, and I've also heard good things of Hambone's Epox. The DFI Ultra-D is moddable to SLI quite easily - it comes with two PCI-E slots but no SLI by default.

I may be wrong, but is not the 3400 Newcastle a 754?

If so a AGP would right in line with that socket. They make PCI-e versions of the board, but they are not the greatest. They have some nice models. The one I would get if I was in the market for a 754 board right now would be this.
