ive done several AMD processors with shitty tools and never fucked a core. Also, 64 bit processing is a good idea if youre going to want to keep up with the times. You only put a heatsink on once, anyways. (most of the time) id suggest a thermaltake heatsink and definitely dont skimp on paste. if theres a 10$ tube, get the 10$ tube. Ive gone through the trouble of removing heatsink just to change the paste.

Tyan boards are fine. Soyo does kinda suck though. (exploded) and Chaintech sucks also.

Get ASUS or ABIT or GIGABYTE and youll be fine.

ALSO if youre graphics serious Nvidia has a new board coming out by Xmas (nforce4 SLI) that runs dual video cards together. They have specific GeForce cards for hte application and you can run wither single or dual 128's or 256's and i believe it uses a 64-bit AMD.

WHICH REMINDS ME.....

forget PCI
forget AGP

look for PCIe or PCIx or whatever they put to represent PCI express. its the new standard and is muuuuuuuuch more convenient and its faster than pci and AGP both. And yes SATA is suggested. if you like gaming, Western Digital makes Raptor 10,000rpm SATA drives that can be setup for RAID (tw0 60GB drives together is still 60 GB but much faster)

uhm...thats about it. read what everyone else said too lol.

and MAKE SURE THE MOTHERBOARD DOESNT TOUCH THE CASE WHEN YOU TURN THE COMPUTER ON EVER

(instant destruction)
