Hi...I am looking at getting a Pentium D805 chip, but some of the motherboards are pretty expensive, would you recommend getting this chip, or an AM2, or perhaps wait for conroe...only problem is my budget is about £250 for chip and mobo, poss stretching to £300. Many thanks
cheapest i could find on scan was this http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=256885
You can go cheaper than that. This is the cheapest supporting mobo on scan. You can also get some crossfire action with it too :p

Many thanks, I will be checking those out, perhaps a conroe ready board is the answer, so I can upgrade in the future. Thanks for your help! The boards are cheaper than I thought!

Wow, that looks like a really decent board Max. Great for someone upgrading one bit at a time. Kudos to AsRock once again :)
