I got the second one. Not on this deal but one as good (see past post)

I would recommend an Asus MB, but if your on a budget like I am
this stuff rocks.

I am running it with 2 sticks of cheapo 512 mg 533MHz ram and
an evga 7900GS single sata 8 mg cache HD.

I got it OCed up to 2.8 and still at 39c max on air outside the case.
BF2 settings all on high except dynamic shadows and light are off,
because it makes it brighter and easier to camp in the shadows.
Mostly at my fav spot at construction on Sharqi WiH.

It will go higher and my next steps will be water cooling this week.
And hopefully two gig new ram next week.
Adata is a brand I have used before and it OCs very well.

2GIG = $95

One last thing, without the OC this setup preformed about the same in BF2
as my P4 3.0 GHz

P3 or 3600+ not OCed about 60 FPS on WiH BF2 settings little below Med

3600+ OCed to 2.8 GHz 80-90 FPS on WiH BF2 settings high except dynamic shadows and light are off

That looks like a good deal. We might get the Brisbane combo to replace our next highest end computer. (P3 800, Nvidia TNT 2, ya it rocks) Imagine me and my bro on at once, you guys will be in a world of hurt.:flipoff: LOL.

I would go with the dual core cause its a dual core. plus its a AM2 over a 939 socket witch means that you can upgrade!
