BIKO24334373 · 07-18-2008, 02:30 AM

My mother board URL:

http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=AM2NF6G-VSTA&s=AM2

CPU : AMD athlon 64

Here is what i plan to do with my home computer:

1) Now running 32bit XP. But planning to run vista 64 bit, ultimate.

2) Everyday home computing applications (such as vista, photos, picture editing, standard videos & games)

3) Video playback & editing

4) Play the latest PC games, supporting DirectX 10, the latest generation of gaming graphics.

5) Experience the directX 10 Pc games at extreme resolutions & frame rates.

I'm using 2GB, 800 ddr2 ram.
If nessesery, i'll use advanced CPU, but no compromise in my requirements from the graphics card.

Cant find any suggetion from anywhere.

IF possible, kindly help me chose.

Thanking in advance.
