hey people...
I want to buy an AMD processor that can go in with the K8V - X Motherboard....

Can anyone tell me a good AMD processor to fit in with the K8V - X mobo. ?? My budget is about Rs. 6k. (Please include specifications like L2 cache etc.) I am looking for something on or above 512 kb L2 cache ... i guess 256kb L2 cache wont be sufficient .... right ?
Anyways , Also ... give me all possible processor options that are compatible with the K8V - X motherboard and tell me how much would the K8V - X motherboard cost ?
And does the K8V motherboard support onboard video and sound ?...

Thx...
Good Day :D

The mobo you have supports AMD athlon 64/ Sempron, socket 754. So there is no great confusion as to which processor you should buy. If your budget is 6K then prolly Athlon 64 2800+or maybe 3000+(with 512 MB L2cache) will be the right choice. For lower config you can go for cheaper semprons(lesser L2 cache and no 64 bit capability).

And The K8V-X board doesn't have onboard graphics though it has onboard 6 channel audio. You can get all the info on asus site on the following URL.

Hope it helps.

You wont get any Athlon64 chip for 6k. cheapest you can get is 2800+ which is priced at around 7500/-
