asus : no known problems... tdm...
gigabyte : flashy but not as reliable.. good boards tho
intel : does not allow overclocking of any sort
processors: intel p4 HIGH CLOCK SPEEDS like 3.2+ : high speed... longer pipelines... more stuff can be sent thru at the same time.. but very expensive and high heat
amd athlon 64 : lower clock speeds but shorter pipelines.. just as fast for regular computing but u cannot run many programs at once... short pipelines compensate for low clock speeds... result is cheaper and less heat production
do not get onboard sound or video.. that just clogs your northbridge chip that normally works with your processor cache and memory to speed up your computer... and it will clog that with work with the sound.. its much more efficient to get a sound card.. which has its own processor... with all that setup make sure u have enough power or your graphics and sound will not be up to par... possibly even processor failure... best bet 500 watts...
hope im some help... not so good at cars but computers i can help
