my new rig

caemsg

ok im in the process of building a new rig
i have decided on using an AMD quad core 9550 CPU
an Asus HD 8550 Gfx card 1or 2 haven't decided if i will ling them or not yet

now my problem is i need a mother board an Asus preferably since alot of brands don't sell in this country and i don't want the bother of the internet for purchasing one
im after one that has support for my CPU 1 or 2 PCI express slots and space for 2-4 slots of DDR2 ram

ram will be 2 1GB sticks of DDR2

power supply's and cooling systems i will figure out when i have all the basics sorted

does anyone have any suggestions for a type of mother board i can use?

this is only my second build so im a bit overwhelmed with the motherboards side of it

Sorry I can't help you with the mother board issue but I just wanted to say thanks for commenting on my blog and I appreciate the advice.  I will definitaley look into the indie producers.  By the way...your profile says you are female?  Is that right or a mistake...just wondering as I don't meet too many females that can build computers.  Not that they aren't fully capable of doing ANYTHING they want, they are, I just personally haven't ran into many and am just curious.
