Ah, I see. But surely you may be able to get more up to date kit out
there? Or is this a myth?

For the motherboard, I'm not keen on Asus. Seen a few unreliable systems
with their motherboards in. If ABIT have brought out their new board for
the AMD, take a look at that. Haven't seen it myself, but ABIT has been
my choice of boards for a few years now. And they have good website
support and nice manuals to find out what all the fiddly bits do. Oh,
and the jumperless nature of the boards is a boon for setting up (and
overclocking).
