well as of now i have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+, but i had to return my mobo ram and psu for certain reasons, the psu and ram are getting replaced, so im left without a motherboard, which is when i ran into problems. i dont know weather to get a high end AM2 mobo, and wait for DX10 and grab that and the K8L's in about a year.
my original thought after i sent the items back in was to get a P5B Deluxe and a E6300, and oc it and be completley happy, but im having second thoughts. because the processor (3800+) is past the 7 day return or replacment offer from newegg, i cant return it, so if the processor ends up being the broken item (the cause of the returns was a problem in the comp that i couldnt diagnose so i decided to get replacements and start from scratch) im sh!t out of luck. could a broken CPU cause system lockups? anyway, what would be the logical choice or what would you guys do?
thanks in advance for your input
