Thank you, Drango for the reply and the Fry's ad.

I am a little surprised I did not get more suggestions from my fellow Freepers.
Would it help if I said I am number 37 on the folding list? I used my real name (Linda_Geiger) because my freeper name was taken by someone else.
Anyway, I would like some recommendations on fast motherboards and processors.
Thanks again
Linda

Linda- I'm not gonna help you...You are gonna pass me soon :-)

http://newspaperads.mercurynews.com/ROP/ads.aspx?advid=32664&adid=3011324&cat=3525 For the best and fastest and no concern for cost...shop newegg or monarch

http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=40&threadid=1806253&enterthread=y Fry's is for the value shopper IMHO. Note that their combo deals of CPU's and motherboards will often be so good that the motherboard is essentially free! I don't think you can go wrong with any combo this weekend at least on the value side. And if you feel the need for speed, buy the most expensive combo you see this Monday! (check the price aginst newegg of course)

I am no computer expert, but what were you wanting a computer for just for folding only or for games or just normal stuff like inter net etc.

If money is no pobject, go for the AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor.

For low pice options, Tom's Hardware crowns the D 805 the new overclocking king
