AMD 64-bit 3800+

what ru writing ?? he is asking for a mobo man not a procc.

@vimal_mehrotra
amd procc do not support ddr2 ram and so u will not find a single motherboard for amd which uses ddr2 memory.

plz tell us ur budget for the mobo. i suggest u go for an amd athlon 64 3000+ 939 pin procc (price - 7500/-) and an Asus A8N-E motherboard (price - 8000/-). and get urself 512mb or more of ddr400 mhz ram. this board has all that u will need including pci-e. but u will have to buy a separate grafix card as there is no onboard video.

if u want integrated grafix and pci-e architecture then u will have to go for the msi rs480 m2 motherboard. it has good onboard grafix and supports pci-e. price of the same is 5000/-
