No problems with the sound card. I run an Audigy 2 ZS on an Asus A8N-SLi and it runs perfectly (as it should!)
Consider the 3800 X2 CPU. Default speed 2GHz although most boards will overclock it to 2.5-2.7GHz with the retail heatsink/fan.

I'm going to spring for a 7800GTX card, and am looking for a good CPU/mobo combo to go with. Maximum PC's latest issue had a 10-card videocard showdown, and they used an Athlon FX-55 and nForce4 SLI motherboard and 2GB DDR RAM as a test system. Looking around and comparing prices, I'm considering going with an Athlon 64 4000 CPU, as it's about half the price of an FX-55. I don't think I want an nForce board because I have the Audigy 2 ZS sound card that I still want to use, and I'm not sure they would play nice together. So, will an Athlon 64 4000 be a bottleneck with the 7800GTX card? And what motherboard would work well with these two components and the Audigy sound card? thanks all.. ******* This message and any attachment are confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
