AMD 64 3500+

[SpeedTweaker]

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?

Check out this link, from what I can see it should work.

Choose AMD64 then scroll down...

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.

what do you think whould be a good power supply

[organ_shifter]

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

Of course

You can run a tank with a ps of that caliber.
