this mobo good enough?

[N2K]

hey you guys, im thinking of getting a new comp, but right now im low on cash, but i realy need somethig new, this comp is getting old already over 2yrs and i push it to its limit

would this mobo be good enough for a 3200+ Venice, and a 7800gt, 2gb mem

Re: this mobo good enough?

i dont know much about mobos but that should be good

a 3200 will bottleneck that card so i would suggest go for a better processor

thats if you dont plan to oc that cpu ive heard that they can be clocked to 2.6ghz should be good if your thinking of doin that

Re: this mobo good enough?

well someone told me that 3200 is good as long as i oc it

Read about that board here:

Its a good board from what Ive heard... I dont think it supports 4x400 mhz ram though. So if your thinking of going 512mb x 4 ram dont, go with 2x1 gig @ 400mhz

Id go with it though. Very few motherboards with 939 socket support 4 sticks of ram @ 400mhz

Re: this mobo good enough?

yes it will be good if you overclock it

if you can find one for $40 then yes go for it

Re: this mobo good enough?

well i wasnt going over 2gigs, since im not getting the 7800gt yet, i have to stick with my 5500, i was thinking of getting the 7800gt and another gig of ram later, so what ill be getting now is just, 1gig of ram 3200+ and that mobo

Re: this mobo good enough?

Personally, I would spend the extra for the ASUS board. It is more compatible and reliable than the Chaintech brand.

Well, a 3200+ will at most be a 5 fps difference with a 7800GT than with using a FX-57. CPU's on't bottleneck too much unless it's under 2.0ghz for P4, or under 2000+ from AMD.
