On recent builds that worked for you?
I'm looking for a decent motherboard that will last awhile.
MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard looks
like a good choice since MSI seams to have a dual core upgrade path. >

I have the non-SLI model and a dual-core Athlon 64 X2. Absolutely love it.
Jin-Wei had this suggestion for processor
"4) Cheap - get a Venice 90nm 3000+ and go wild with the OC'ing
(my old Socket-754 3000+ still OC'es pretty nicely)"
What kind of cooling?
You can do stock. The Venice 3000+ I had in this machine before I bought the
X2 did 2.7GHz with the stock heatsink/fan.
PCI-E video that will allow SLI down the road. I'm looking at a refurb
from newegg...
Leadtek WinFast PX350 TDH Geforce PCX5900 128MB 256-bit DDR PCI Express
x16 Video Card
I'm not interested in paying much for a video card. I don't game that much
since most of it moved to the console.
The 5900 will run a bit warm...might want to consider a more modern part
like a GF 6600 or ATI X300.
Memory... 1 gig good stuff with out the "overclocker" "high performance"
tags that wants a premium price tag.
I'm a huge Corsair whore. I don't buy their extreme overclocker stuff, but
stay away from (any) value grade stuff as well.
