Motherboard conked.Suggestions for a new mobo/processor

[Robert Stockdale IV]

Hi

     I just put together a new system for Desktop/Workstation use. I run 3
U320 scsi drives off an Adaptec scsi host adapter. Therefore I required a
PCI-X slot and opted for the ASUS M2N32 WS. This will support an FX62 if I
decide later I could use that. However, with the need to conserve cash I
opted for the X2 4600+. The board is SLI compatible and comes with the sli
cable should you need to pair up video cards.  All in all it's a nice combo
that should serve my needs for some time. Hope this helps.
Bob
