whataboutbob? · 12-01-2005, 10:10 PM

can somebody recommend a good mb for an amd 3700 san diego processor. the price range is up to about $150. also, i think im gonna end up getting a 7800 gt video card. if anybody has any input on this feel free to tell me.

basically, im looking for a system to run bf2 on all high settings for under $1000. if anybody has any other recommendations please tell me. thanks

The GIGABYTE GA-K8N-SLI ATX AMD Motherboard seems to have the best bang for your buck at the minute !

But it only has 2x pci slots,4x USB and 1x ethernet port !
Apart from that it has the works and is SLi Ready !

Pretty much, if you only plan on running 1 card while you have this board SLi isn't needed. However it will run 1 card just fine too, so you don't have to get a different mobo if you still want an SLi one for features, but just want to run 1 card.
