well here we go I am finally building a pc for myself instead of someone else.But I need some advise on what to buy for a processor! I am doing strictly dvd movie burning and cd music copies.and internet surfing not much on games yet.I still have not picked out a mb yet either. the software I use is dvd shrink,dvd decrypter,Dvd x copy ,nero 6.0,and sonic record now version 6.I am also using a sony dru-530a havent picked out my 2nd dvd driver yet either.been surfing for parts for about a week now and like I said I am strictly dvd movie burning and cd music copies.and internet surfing. any help would be much appreciated.

ok so then the processor is fine now to the mb looking at either a
ABIT "KV8 Pro"
or a
ASUS "K8N"
what do you think?
I have used the abit mb in the past seems to be a good mb.never used asus before just read reviews.all good as well.

asus has been a good mobo for me.. built about 6 systems using the asus a7n-vm back in the day.. that was about 2 years ago and all of those systems are running fine still.. :-)

so yea, i'd say that both are good mobos.. just pick based on what features you want and will use vs what you won't ever use...

oh yea! if the chipsets are different, i'd check into them to see which one outperforms the other.. i'm running a via based chipset board... nice hd performance...

peace
