Best for one person may be the worst for another. How much do you want to spend on a MB/cpu combo? Under $200, $400, $1000, more? What ports do you need on the MB? PCIe, AGP, friewire, etc. You see, while your question may seem reasonable, it's really not. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |

Good Sound - but doesn't have to be high qual Fast AMD processor (but don't want to play with overclocking...) Quite operation (fans) What else am I missing ? Oh - and I don't play games on my cumputer....

I bought it because it had 4 PCI slots and I needed that many for my 4 tuner cards, and it has evrything else you want and more. As for the CPU. I went with an X2 3800+ for $150, but it'll take anything from an AM2 Sempron at about $60 to the latest FX-62 at about $800. http://www.gigabyte.us/Products/Moth...GA-M55plus-S3G -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |

Well - I am still confused...:-(
I wanted an ABIT MB. 1. Is the NF8-V2 a good choice ? 2. What is the difference between this and my NF7-S ? 3. What would be the AMD CPU for the N8-V2 ? 4. Are there any other models of teh NF8 - XX? if so what is the difference ? Thanks again. On Mon, 28 Aug 2006 19:56:08 GMT, Wes Newell wrote: On Mon, 28 Aug 2006 01:11:57 -0400, ZR wrote: OK.
