My honest advice? Avoid AMD completely - pick yourself out a nice, fast dual-core (for gaming) or slower quad (for serious work or video)...

I'll dig around, look at some history, and try to get back to you ASAP; I don't know offhand, as I don't do AMD! Seems to me there's been a rash of recent oddball memory problems with 790X series board, but nothing else jumps out at me...
