6000+ help

[bbdez]

ok i am upgrading my motherboard (AM2)... CPU(AM2) and RAM, and gcard is already on its way...

thing is i think i want a 6000+ but all the mobo's i have looked at say max cpu support 5600+ or lower on specialtech, wot do i do? also the 5400+ is more expensive than the 5600+ & the 6000+ (even still dearer b4 reducing price) CLICK HERE TO CHECK why is that? is the 5400+ better or something

also can anyone recommend a good motherboard (AM2)

Whats your budget?

I would have thought the crossfire would be the best bet.

Or:

The crosshair goes up too 6000.

ala:

check the manufs sites rather than the retailers on any board you that takes your fancy. They're generally more up too date.

So does the M2N-SLI according to the the asus page you linked.

I was looking at this one myself:

http://uk.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=101&l3=300&l4=0&model=1163&modelmenu=2

it also supports 6000+ according to that page.
