In loving memory of our friend Claire Goodhue

Published on February 02, 2006

We started TG Publishing in California in August, 2001. Coming off of the worst breakdown in the tech sector; we were suffering from the hangover of the Internet Bubble bursting, and we had very little idea how the company was going to survive and whether we could keep the team intact. It was a very difficult time. In those early days, one person went out of her way to help us more than anyone else. Her name was Claire Goodhue. Read more

Send the board back. Any chip you can put in it, that costs more than $200 will make it melt.
Get a board that supports Amd chips instead. If you want Asus, the A8N SLI premium is good.

why the hell did you buy a mother board without knowing what proccessor to put on it, now you will probly find out you made the wrong choice and will return the product and get a different one. you are the reason prices arent lower. i swear people should have to pass an iq test before they buy computer equipment. did you just buy the board cause you heard some nerd talk about it on the street? maybe you saw a review for it on some retard site proclaiming it the best board around. this is why im not around on this forum anymore. this new layout seems to have attracted far more morons than before.

You're not around these boards anymore, except to tell people why you're not around here anymore..... Make up your mind please.

Yes, he should have done some research first - but hey, mistakes are the best way to learn!

If everyone did as much research as most of us "oldies" did, then there'd be no more hardware forums like this anyway. :roll:

Chill... He probably read a recommendation for the mobo on THG main site anyway :lol:

As previous posters stated, the ASUS A8N SLI is in fact a GREAT board.

The nForce4 + AMD 64 socket 939 is the way to go :-)

The AMD64 4000+ is the fastest gaming rig you can get unless you get a 939 Opteron and overclock ;-)

Good luck!
