I was wondering if the ASUS M2N Deluxe is compatible with the AMD Atholon 64 X2 6000+. Also, what type of RAM would anyone recommend.

pslee

I just bought it and it works great. I have no problems with compatibility. You might want to just follow my path.

amd 6000+
m2n sli deluxe
gskill pc6400 2gb ram 5-5-5-15
coolmax 700w (combo with the mother board with decent discount)
Samsung 250gb hdd
few fans
XFX 8600GT

at first, my computer didn't even turn on. but the problem was there was a short circuit with the board and the case, in other words, the pins under the mobo was touching the case and disrupting the circuit. But It works great. I just installed windows and it is super fast.total came up to about 800 (i had a case and cd rom). this is a super computer. lol
