Hai

I have decided to go for AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (939 socket) and a msi motherboard with onboard graphics. There r few questions about my choice for AMD

1. Is there any heating problems ( have heard a lot)

2. will it perform equally to Intel 640 3.0GHZ (It supports HT, EMT64 with 2MB L2 cache).

Do a search on RS480 mother boards here and you can find lots of info.

i m using MSI RS480m2 mobo and i m very much satisfied wid it as it has got a decent onboard GPU and dis is da best mobo u can get wid onboard grapix as far as i kno.but onboard sound isnt dat gud but u can go for a decent sound card any time wen eva u feel like.but its not da worst either its ok not so gud not so bad.
