As I'm in the middle of West Virginia, this should be fun as all we have are Staples, Ciorcuit City & Radio Shack.

I think I hear a new motherboard calling my name, does anyone here know anything about the MachSpeed MSNV-939 NVIDIA Socket 939 ATX Motherboard and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.0GHz OEM Processor?
