Hey let's go upgrade mode

[Bakurei]

So one of these again. I'm currently thinking of upgrading my CPU, GPU and Motherboad. I've been thinking a set like this:

AMD64 3200+ Venice core or Opteron 146 (both 939-socket)
Maybe a DFI mobo (give recommendations)
Sapphire Radeon X800 GTO Lite 256Mt PCI-E (going to flash to XT or XT PE)

So the current problems lie with the CPU and Motherboard. I won't spend more than 100€ to the motherboard.

I haven't been able to find any decent reviews comparing 3200+ and Opteron 146 so if anyone has one please share. I would also like to know how warm the Opteron gets.

And as for the mobo. Good overclocking abilities, Sata2 (or is it sata 3gb/s nowadays). Ou and no Asrock motherboards!

for the motherboard just go for a lanparty ut with the nf4 chipset they are very stable and you can overclock them well. About the price it will cost you like 130 Euros. In belgium that is so probably it will be cheaper were you live.
For the processor i would just go with a simple 3200 Venice core.

Well I guess I'll go with the DFI. But as for the GPU I'm gonna drop the Sapphire one (since it's not GTO2 it can't be flashed). Gonna go for Connect3d x800 gto. Still need to find benchmarks for the CPU's.
