You may need to google about the newcastle core . . . i knew at one time but alot has passed since.

Just make sure you get one of the latest chipsets so you can lock the agp/pci bus speeds if you want to overclock. Try for the nforce2 250 northbridge chipset. Seems to be doing ok for now.

Actualy tis the Nforce3 250gb chipset and IMO the best mobo is the MSI K8N Neo Platinum for socket 754 or the MSI K8N Neo2 PLatinum for socket 939.

How many AMD 64 bit mobo's have you used?
I have seen and worked with a few abit ones and they seem to be rock solid but I do know that MSI has a good reputation for being rock solid also. They just don't have the overclockability that Abit does.

I'm glad someone else asked this question, I just bought the amd athlon 64 3500+, and now I'm stuck with the question of what motherboard to get, it's a socket 939, I was looking at the Asus, cuz that the one I'd always heard about till I saw this thread, but yeah the only ones I've seen are made by Asus, Abit, ECS, Gigabyte, and MSI...what the hell, I dont know which one is best, I dont even know how to begin to tell...any help would be appreciated.

Do you plan on overclocking much or just a little?

Make sure you get the nforce3 250gb chipset like FTR said. If you want to overclock alot, get abit. If you want nice stability and a little overclock, go with MSI.

Great manufacturer's!

AMD
Athlon 939 (Athlon 64)
- 1. Abit AV8 (fast, for overclockers, silent)
- 2. MSI K8T Neo 2 (G-Bit LAN, silent, not a lot additional features)
- 3. Gigabyte K8NSNXP-939 (fast, two bios chips)

Athlon 754, 940
Not recommended. I heard that AMD hasn't plan any further (or just one more) CPUs for this socket. Therefore, I would choose an Athlon 939 board.

INTEL
Sockel 775
- 1. Asus P5AD2 Premium (fast, silent, a lot of additional features)
- 2. Albatron PX915G Pro (fast, reasonable price, good features)
- 3. MSI 915P Combo (DDR1 and DDR2 support, silent)

Sockel 478
- 1. Aopen AX4SPE Max 2 (fast, a lot of additional features)
- 2. Asus P4C800 Deluxe (really fast, silent, a lot of additional features)
- 3. Asus P4P800 (fast, stable, silent, reasonable price)

Anyone here have a chance to use the DFI LanParty board that supports AMD 64? I've been interested in it.
