MOBO/PROCESSOR under 250?

[BoonDock]

Could someone mention a AMD based Motherboard/Processor combo that I could look for under $250 that would be good to have? Or is that even possible?

I don't think it's possible, at least for a decent one

You could get the Intel PentiumD 805 for $130 and buy a mobo for $120 or less

That's equivalent to an AMD64 3500+ (after OC'ing it)

Actually, it smokes the Athlon FX-60 and the Pentium Extreme Edition 965!

Yup, that is now the greatest overclocking processor of all time, made the news today..... read up, that is the ONE to buy(and im an AMD man:|).

No way it smokes FX - 60 , that's a joke! the Opteron 148 is the only processor to kill the FX-60 by OC'ing

edit: read you link, i've had my eyes on this baby since it came out, VERY cheap, and reliable (intel) :lol:

BUY IT NOW BEFORE INTEL REALIZES THE TRUE POWER OF THIS BABY BEAST AND UPS THE PRICES

read the article and look at the benchmarks, smokes it. (synthetic and practical)

No Joke.:|

So can I have it overclocked all the time? Or just when I need to have it overclocked?

Anyone find a board/proc. combo with this? I can't seem to find one, guess I'll have to buy em seperately ... anyone want to lead me in the way to a good mobo for this chip? plz and thx! :thumb:

check newegg. If it doesnt give you a combo it will recommend a motherboard for the processor you are looking at. Easy to find something under 250.
