Hi,
One of my friends wants to go in for a new system. He is keen on dualbooting with Linux and Windows. He is going in for an AMD64 3000+ system. He asked me to recommend a good compatible motherboard with moderate to high performance.
I am a complete newbie to AMD systems. I have a sempron system but I am clueless about which motherboards are available for AMD64 let alone the good ones compatible with Linux...
Anyone with an AMD64 system please respond.
PS.: I heard that AMD64 is based on different cores. Which core should he get? Also what should be the operating frequency of the DDR RAM he buys? 333MHz or 400MHz or should he go in for a DDR2? I know that the CPUs FSB and the RAM's OF should be in sync for optimum performance. What is it for an AMD64 system?
