I am going to be building my own computer pretty soon.. and am a little unsure as to what to look for in a motherboard.. i know i am going to use a Athlon 64x2 3800+ chip.. so i know its gotta be a 939 mobo but as far as features on it, i am lost.. other than the usual # pci slots/ agp vs pci express/ on board audio/ etc.. is there anything else i should make sure i have?? im not looking to do anything special with this computer.. im not an overclocker or anything like that.. im a part time gamer (and i do mean part time) but mostly gonna be graphic/video editing.. i just want a decent mobo that isnt gonna break me.. i was looking at these.. any good??
