looking to buy a 64-bit system
Posted: Thu Oct 21, 2004 4:00 pm
so, my motherboard caught fire this past monday (for the second time in my life!!, some of you may remember when the same thing happened a few years back). Anyway, I'm wanting to upgrade to an AMD 64-bit processor now. I'm not sure what sort of mobo to get.
I know many of you are already running 64-bit systems, and I was reading things about how (a while ago at least), how AMD motherboards had trouble using 2-sided DIMMS, and things of this sort. Do you have any suggestions on what sorts of motherboards I should look into? And, because I plan to buy new RAM (my current RAM, being generic, has given me many problems), should I be looking into getting single sided DIMMS, or has that problem been resolved with current AMD setups?
Any help, advice, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
