I'm obviously not totally new to the building scene but ,I'm going to get a new system..
I've always been a AMD fan. My only question is some of these new wacky Motherboards. with chipsets now a days

I'm probably going with a 64XP dualcore AM2 socket

I briefly looked at newegg and see everything has a (NorthBridge)
Nvidia.. Nforce Blah Blah Blah....

I'm an ATI man myself so it seems pointless... I'm not at least finding anything that I would call... My kind of Motherboard.. I've been a Abit man, but I'm either missing something or not finding something that says (Buy Me cause I right for you)

Just so tidbits..
Biggest investment will be Video Card( not sure what I want yet) Still pondering
Probably the AMD 4200 Windsor... Will consider other depending on what else I get myself into.
Looking for dual Channel Capability
No plans of OC
2 gigs ram at first 2 more later...
As of now, Still stuck on IDE but will upgrade eventually, I have 4 200 gig IDe drives now and working on parting them to a storage server already waiting for them.

No Plans to SLI... Bells and whistles aren't needed but if they make it a good sell then it would work. Only reason why I'm hitting you on this is cause I have no flipping idea which one I want and its easier to say hey... What do you think?
