bigcahunak Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Even though I used to be an AMD junkie, I wouldn't suggest going older AMD MPX if thats what you ment. Why not Xeon? I'm waiting for the new dual 875 chip mobos (with 800mhz support) like the Iwill DH800 (look at newegg) and its future competitor (asus NCCH-DL) to be one or two month old and see reviews. mobo is $335 at the mo and each CPU (2.8 nacona xeon with 1mb cache and 800MHZ fsb) is $239. I think this would be the best purchase for programs like MAX. good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harjeet Singh Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 EVEN 7525 MOBO would do great with dual xeon (EM64T with 800MHz FSB). It has got PCI-Express, GIGAbit Ethernet, SATA and RAID on board with 24G memory capacity! It really ROCKS! with my nVidia 5300 128M and 2G ECC DDR. goodluck!

bigcahunak Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Server boards usually have SCSI, dual LAN and more room for RAM sticks and dont have firewire and quality sound (if any). Servers usually require REGed ECC RAM. The Supermicro X6DAL-G is also one, if you consider PCI-Express Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
