^I'm picking up the A64 3200+ (8.2K quote) and the Asrock mobo as soon as it comes in stock. Sounds like an excellent combo, and I want to retain my AGP card.
 
^ Why bother with the 3200+ ? Get a 3000+ and OC for the 200Mhz difference. The 3000+ is as low as 5.9K here in Chennai, so seems a substantial amount of savings :)

Yeah, but no 10X multi on the 3000+, besides, the Asrock board isn't a very good OCer. Let's see.. I'm trying to save up for an MSI Neo2 Plat.

There's a Beta BIOS on OCWorkbench which claims to improve the OC ability of the ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 Board. Plus they also have a guide to Vmodding the board too, for serious OCers

Cheers for the link, had it bookmarked already ;)
I've been asking around for a conductive pen for this very reason : that vcore mod looks really easy, and hey.. I'm not that bad with solder either..

The 6100 beat the RS480 in every single game except one. Saw this at Anandtech. The review starts here

Its just been a month or 2 into its production...so its better to wait for sometime untill it becomes quite common.... thats why i said the safest option as 482....
As for the Asrock board, the performance is quite surprising,especially since Asrock was regarded as a cheap mobo maker(quality wise) and was also sued by Asus for some issue(dont remember what it was though).... but the situation is changing now

Dude, if you don't have anything sensible to say, don't say it! Asrock is 100% owned by Asus, why the FARK would Asus sue them?
