I dont think ive got anything wrong this time and the mobo is mid ranged with a via chipset. HELP!!! DISCMAN

I wouldn't advise getting into a socket 754 system. AMD has converted to socket 939 for the Athlon 64. There will be no other socket 754 A64s produced, other than what's currently available. Plus the 754 format doesn't support dual channel RAM. There will still be A64 based Semprons for the 754 format, but they will be 32-bit CPUs, not 64-bit. I suggest you rethink your configuration.

Cheers BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD FOR CUSTOM BUILD PART 3!! Discman
