I'm currently using and AMD Athlon 1.4MHz computer. Planning on upgrading to a more modern motherboard and cpu. Currently leaning toward AMD but I'm a little confused thus the following questions maybe someone can answer. 1) AM2 vs 939 socket, I leaning towards the AM2 2) Is Dual-Core worth the extra money, leaning towards Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 5000+ 3) Gigabyte, Asus or DFI motherboard, Want 2 IDE interfaces (4 drives) Current choices are ASUS M2N-E SLI Gigabyte GA-M44SLI-S4 DFI NF Ultra II-M2 All 3 boards have at least 1 com port (required) The ASUS has only one IDE interface (could live with this if Asus is the better board. 4) Finally, what are pro/cons for 32 bit or 64 bit of opensuse on a 64 bit computer.
