ok, so i have this motherboard that i never did anything with, so i
decided to turn it into a media center. so i went to the website to
see what the latest processor i could get for it. The site said the
highest is Athlon 64 3000+ ClawHammer, 130nm, L2 Cache 512KB.

theres the list. is this the fastest one on the list? also if i get
this chip, but some of the specs on it are better will that effect the
moterboard in anyway? i dont want to like over work it.


also will this beable to run vista?
thanks for looking
 
IMHO and if I read the chart correctly, this processor Athlon 64
(ClawHammer, 130nm, L2 Cache 1MB) Athlon 64 3700+ (CG version) will be much
faster than the one you specified in light of the faster processor speed,
step factor (12 instead of 10) and the 1 MB L2 cache. Of course it will
also cost more.
