I would suggest you go for an AMD 64-bit processor. Its too good, very fast! And an ASUS AI-series motherboard would be a perfect combo. I have an AMD-64 ATHLON 2800+ processor with an ASUS K8N mobo. Both together make a wonderful system. -- Regards, Sanket Medhi, [EMAIL PROTECTED] +91-9820990917. -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
