Re: A8N-E and Athlon64 processor stepping

Thanks for the replies. It seems an E3 socket 939 Venice Ath64 3000+ is
what I need.

As for the A8N-E, am I right in assuming that if I run the CPU at the
rated speed, with Corsair Value Select DDR400, i.e. not doing any
overclocking, then this board should be stable 99.9% or the time or
thereabouts? My main power use for my system will be batch processing
of approx 8 megapixel image (RAW) files in Photoshop CS. I don't intend
to use it for power gaming.

Also how does the A8N-E compare to the A8N-SLI in terms of stability,
component compatibilty (e.g. fussiness with memory and graphics
cards?), when you don't overclock?
