SpeedTweaker Posted July 6, 2005 CID Share Posted July 6, 2005 I am currently looking to buy a computer from new egg. I'm looking at a ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 ATX Motherboard MSI GeForce 6600GT 128MB PCI Express x16 Video Card Corsair 2 512MB=1GB Memory Thermalake 420w Power supply and for CPU my question is that at the motherboard's web site http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/socket939/a8nsli-d/overview.htm it says on under power requirements a "Light Load" Is AMD 64 3500+ But I want to buy the AMD 64 3000+ because of costs. Will the 3000+ work on this motherboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grambler Posted July 6, 2005 CID Share Posted July 6, 2005 Check out this link, from what I can see it should work. http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/desktop/Default.aspx Choose AMD64 then scroll down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organ_shifter Posted July 6, 2005 CID Share Posted July 6, 2005 AMD Athlon 64 3500+ only comes in socket 939, so it will work perfectly on that board. AMD Athlon 64 3000+ comes in 2 models. 1.) Socket 754 (not compatible with a socket 939 motherboard) 2.) Socket 939 (fully compatible with socket 939 motherboards) If you are looking to save a few dollars, get the 3000+, but be sure you select the 939 pin processor.

organ_shifter Posted July 6, 2005 CID Share Posted July 6, 2005 At least go for a 400 watt PS. I purchased this one: Logisys Glacier Aluminum & Arcrylic Moded Gaming 500 Watt Power Supply This is an even better one from PowMax (as far as wattage): POWMAX 580W POWER SUPPLY WITH RED LED LIGHT RETAIL Check them all out here: Power Supplies 1 of 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
