A friend has asked my advice on a from-scratch gaming rig.
I'm strictly an Intel guy, so I need advice as to
mobo, chipset I should look at (AMD). Specifically, what are the
pros/cons of various socket types and chipsets. Also, he wants
integrated giga bit LAN and sound. A starting point seems to be
a 64 bit Athlon 3400+, but nothing is set in stone.
Thanks for any inputs.
