im new here, hoping to get (and maybe give) some advice, about 10 years ago i had a k6-3 that i had the clock pushed on, and it was ahead of its time stock, now its been awhile ive been away from it.
now i want to put together a 939 system, i know, thats old already, but i have a 64 bit processor sitting in a case (bad motherboard) and its driving me nuts, from what i understand the asus a8v deluxe is a good board, and even though i only have a athalon 64 3200+ to put in it now, i understand theres some better processors that i could then upgrade to
any comments, experience with this board, or any other recomendations on a stable, workable, 939 board would help me out.
also i guess i should add, a few of the things that got me thinking av8 deluxe are, agp port-that i could use my old graphics card, and that board has a optical audio output to interface with my stereo setup,
agp something im not too used to (been outta the game awhile) i understand the timing is backward compatable, it would just work at the slower speed,
signaling voltages-
theres a key-way for 3.3v, and one for 1.5v. but i guess theres newer boards that use .7 or .8 volts and have the same keyway as the 1.5.
i know i dont want to plug a 1.5v card into a .7-.8v slot or itll probally draw more current than it should and fry something up. if someone could explain this to me id be most grateful.
thanks, i look forward to talking with you all.
