Tigerdirect has good deals on Motherboard Bundles!, you want the 64bit combos. B4 you criticize a bigger man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, you're a mile away, and you have his shoes.

CPU... http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-452&depa=1 Motherboard... http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-128-259&depa=1 Your 6600GT is AGP, right? MCSE, MCSA Messaging, baby!

AMD64 is the way to go for sure but make sure you get the socket 939 NOT the socket 754! Tt Lanfire nf7-s v2.0 XP-m 2500@209x11 SP 97 512mb pc3200 Jou Jye 550w psu FX5600 WDCaviar 160gb sata WDCaviar 160gb sata ;~}

I'd agree, but he can't stay $200 or less that way. :-/ "...but in my defense, it was dark, I was drunk, and it was delicious!"

if u wanted to save up, and go over kill on your mobo, check this out. http://www.asus.com/products/mb/socket939/a8nsli-d/overview.htm major over kill.

why not socket 754?
