And a small amount of investigation on your part would have shown the following. The motherboard is only about 18months old and 9 months out of production. The motherboard is rated to hold 768 megs of Ram. 393 is less than 768. I used this same model motherboard with 768 megs of ram and 4 nics to set a (then) record with MindCraft for connections per second for a web server. (previous company) Third..... and most important. It doesn't use a VIA chipset. Which if you listend to Civilme you would know is nothing but a headache for most people. It uses the ALI chipset. Finally benchmarks on this mobo cpu combo show that it exceeds CPU's up to 100mhz faster on integer math and holds it's own with comperable CPU's on floating point math. (granted I ran the Benchmarks about 18 months ago and it would be a bitch to find them.)
