what do you think of the asus motherboard against the amd?

You're confused. The motherboard and processor are different. Read the 101's in each section or look each one up on wikipedia. Asus motherboards are good stuff though.

ASUS is a company that makes motherboards for AMDs processors.

ok so asus and amd are the same company, but wich one is higher end brands, is the asus the lexus compared to the amd or is it the other way around

You are comparing two things that cannot be compared. ASUS makes motherboards, not processors. AMD, a different company, makes processors, not motherboards.

This is an Asus motherboard:

This is an AMD procesor:

This is how they connect, the processor is circled:

back to the original question. if i got a ASUS's P5GD1 series motherboard and a Pentium 4 530J processor would this work well together to get me some good speed and able to upgrade later?
