I am looking to build a new PS around an AMD 64 X2 6000 or a "Black" 6400+.
I am NOT looking to 'clock it.  Stop rolling your eyes; not everyone is not,
what I call, an eXtreme power user.  =P  So, I am looking for a real nice,
reasonalbly priced, 'rock-solid 'baord.  Asus, Abit, Soltek,

In addition, NO SLIs, or CrossFire's, for that matter.  I will find a nice
ATI borad that will run my rather minimal gaming 'stuff'.  'Coaster
Tycoon(s), MS Flight Sim(s) [from 2k to '03' to present, Counter-Strike, &
HL1 & HL: Orang Box.  I know some of you are wondering what am I doing NOT
looking for MAX graphics "what-not" ... I have done a'lil research, & have a
really, frim grasp on  the unessesary need for more than 1 card.

That being that, any additional ideas on an ATI (NON TV tuner) card?

I will also be running 2 Barracuda SATA3 500's & a SATA DVD-ROM & SATA
DVD-+-RW ('media burner', the whole shooting match from DVD-RAM to CD-R &
RWs).  Therefore, I, obviously, need @ least 4 on-board SATA 'ports' /
'interfaces' (?).

ANYTHING that anyone could recommend, or add, would be extremely appreciated
...

As always, 'til the next time,
