Thanks, I did some research and I've decided to get a 939 with an a64fx 3500+ in an asus a8n sli deluxe, I already have a 600w power bestexpress supply, guess that will do the deal, I'll stick with my old nvidia graphic card till I get money to get a new board (probably pci-e), I guess all my games (I haven't played new games for a while) will work decently, and as soon as I get my new 256mb card I guess I'll have at least an year of game playing and a good general processing ammount. I hate the idea of getting on-board sound (because my SB Audigy will become useless) but I guess you can't run from that, neither from on-board eth (I already have two net cards).
If anyone has any advices about the config above, let me know, and Bob, it was nice to see you have a stable system running with your config, it kinda makes me more confortable on changing archs.
