designing next build, a 64-bit system

[marsha]

I'm going to build a 64-bit system for the first time. I'm thinking AMD
3800+ to
as my build - maybe to upgrade if I get rich. Which mobo and video card to
go
with it is my question?

Thanks for any help and comments!!!

We are a dealer and have had excellent success with ASUS motherboards
which have a 3yr warranty. You are right about trying an AMD Athlon 64.
They are as fast or faster than similiar Intel P4s, run cooler and use less
power.

It's hard to answer about the video card without knowing what you plan
on using the system for and what your budget is.

Thanks, will be using it for AutoCAD 2006, and 3dmax 8 to mention the two
most used.

You don't need a fast 3D card if you won't be gaming. Matrox makes
some of us the best 2D ones for AutoCAD, desktop publishing, etc.
Some of the quality Matrox PCI Express models are:

128MB P650 PCI Express, DVI, dual head
128MB Parhelia APVe PCI Express, DVI, dual head
