Right now I'm working with an ASUS A7V8X-X, and it has proven to be most reliable and right spritely. I have the feeling if I get into some relatively heavy duty multimedia and video production that it might falter somewhat.

I'm limited as to what I can spend at the moment, but I'd like to seek out a Mobo that might be the next best upward movement, utilyzing the CPU, FSB and RAM needed for approaching professional work. I would like to get the best FSB that won't break the bank. I can be satisfied with a not-as-fast CPU, especially if I can go higher down the line. I also need to know minimum amounts of RAM for doing decent work, as well as anything else I might need to seek out in my search.

If anyone has any Mobo in mind I'd like to know that as well. I just need to get off the ground.

Thanks for reading this, and any input you might be able to share.

The best way forward now is to go for dual core or AM2.

I cannot remember if I posted to you, or not, but thank you for the fast & thorough input. It will help me a great deal in my search for the next level of computing.

PS: If this is a duplicate post my apologies.

Thats ok. I usually go to aut direct in person as they aren't far from where I live. Their customer service is excellent and they will arrange delivery etc.

They also deal with a lot of large local businesses.
