thats not what he wants...that board has only AGP 8X/4X (0.8V/1.5V) (Not pci-e)
I don't know of any S462 board with PCI-E. The NF7-S v2.0 is a good alternative.

do you know what socket the board is
He is talking about a Athlon 64 3500, they never made a XP 3500. But it still could be a 754,939 or AM2

supert do you know the socket or board you have then we can esily find out although it is probably a
The 754 models were generally Sempron not Atholon there. The AMD64 3500+ is the same model cpu being run on the 939 board here. The models for AM2 boards are all dual not single core cpus.
There's one number above the 3200+ which is an pre-oed 3200+ relabeled for CompaQ as the 3400+ that ran at 2.3ghz over the 3200+'s 2.205ghz speed. The 3200+ appeared to all as having a locked multiplier when it could only go to 2.3ghz showing that CompaQ had AMD oc them ahead of time to compete speed wise with a seemingly faster cpu then you could buy for a custom case or in another competitor's prebuild. The best ocer in that line was the Barton cored XP2500+ that reached the 3400+ speed. When backing down on the fsb the 3200+ suddenly becomes the 2500+.
What in the world does that mean, theres all kinds of single core Athlon 64 AM2s. There is 3 Athlon 64 3500 for AM2
There are still new AGP cards being made too. But how often would you recommend one for a new build? For budget systems or for those still afraid to move into a dual core cpu you continue to some made. The builk of the better models are what? dual core. You can still find PC100 memory if you need that.
Everything you just said has nothing to do with you saying that there were (no) single core AM2s. Whats wrong with you! And this thread is not even about Dual cores anyway! The guys wanting a motherboard not a processor.

.First you have to know the cpu type and model to select the correct board. The reference to dual core cpus brings an article called:
Dual-core CPUs to rule by 2007
Most server and desktop CPUs will use dual-core processors by 2007, a Gartner analyst said.
Both Intel and AMD have made dual-core chip announcements this month, said analyst Martin Reynolds in an online brief. And the shift will be significant.
"Dual-core processors will deliver the greatest advance in performance since the introduction of the 386," Reynolds said.
But developers and users must test and tune their software to receive the full benefit of this performance boost."
Reynolds recommended that enterprises get ready to test applications on dual-core systems and replace or recode any that don't deliver performance gains, rather than upgrade them in the next cycle.
He also urged companies to examine vendor licenses for how they now, or will, treat dual-core designs.
"Microsoft is generally liberal with dual-core licenses, while Oracle treats dual-core as two separate processors for licensing purposes. Other vendors will sit between these extremes," he said.
