Ok then, i have decieded on the processor. i will be taking the Athelon 64 X2, might be 2.8 ghz or a little lower than that, bcoz that fits well into my budget.

Thank u very much guys for the advice.

Now i have to decide on what mother board should be purchased.

can u suggest about a mother board or chipset that is pintype(removable one), or else flat type(integrated with the processor).

i heard that the performance of the flat type mother boards are better than the pin type one. is it true.
