I'm also considering to upgrade to an Asus K8V Deluxe mobo. Can anyone offer some advice or suggestions if this is the way to go:
*AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Processor Retail
w/Fan and Heatsink - $226
*Asus K8V Deluxe Via K8T800 Athlon 64 Skt754 DDR ATX Motherboard - $140.00
*Kingston HyperX KHX3500K2/512 512MB Kit DDR433 PC3500 Memory w/Heat Spreader Retail - $140
*ATI OEM Radeon 9600 XT AGP 8X 128MB DDR Video Card - $159.00
I'm trying to get the best bang for my buck. I play games, encode video, music, digital pictures and I multitask a lot.
Any suggestions?
