I like the article at Toms but find it baffling that they chose an expensive mobo when the main selling point of the 805 is how inexpensive it is. I went a different route getting an Asus 865PE mobo that only costs $80 and a XP-90 heatsink for $30. I had good pc3200 ram and a good agp vid card from my back up rig so I saved money there. Totaled up, I spent about $240 to make a dual core rig that runs smooth and cool at 3.5 Ghz. Now unless someone can point out what I'm missing by not getting an expensive mobo, vid card and ram, I think I'm doing pretty darn good. BTW, I'm not a gamer so I can see where the other components might benefit that but this rig is for video encoding and general web surfing/music so I took that into account.
