Yes - Get a 939 pin processor. 754 pin socket is going away. |

Also, it's not just the motherboard. If you are a gamer - start with the |
| 11 |
Gfx card. If you are going for one of the high end cards, be aware they |
| 12 |
suck down 75+ watts - more than the cpu will. A specifically designed power |
| 13 |
supply for these cards is called for, otherwise you;ll be back here asking about |
| 14 |
random compile failures, graphics lockups, corrupt file systems, etc. |
| 15 |

To support the gfx card and the system, you'll need a power supply that |
| 17 |
has a decent continous power rating, such as a PC Power&Cooling Silencer 470ATX. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
If you want an SLI config, then the PC Power&Cooling Turbo-Cool 510 Express/SLI |
| 20 |
is called for. |

Unless you have a specific need for high end, a 6600 GT works well with a smaller |
| 25 |
power draw - 350 W power supply. Here is a partial output of the Shuttle SN95G5 |
| 26 |
that I'm running with an xfx 6600GT - |
