AMD Athlon 64 X2

Im looking to buy this processor:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Manchester 2.0GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor............and would greatly appreciate any tips on which motherboard to go with...i was leaning toward Asus,but reading reviews some complained of higher than normal temps....what about Biostar and or DFI....Thx in advance

 

The Best socket 939 mobo's would be NF4 based Asus or DFI
Overclocking wise DFI is the best choice due to it's more advanced BIOS options, specifically memory timings

I own both brands a Asus A8N sli prem & two DFI Ultra D's

 

I found this one on newegg.com

Personally, I like ECS boards: the price is right and the problems are few... Here's a link to an ECS board that looks like it might be right up your alley: http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Pr...ilID=534&DetailName=Feature&MenuID=47&LanID=9
Here's a link to the specs: http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Pr...34&DetailName=Specification&MenuID=47&LanID=9 - same board but more detailed info.
