Some considerations: For your money the 890FX from AMD with an AM3 socket is the way to go right now; 1. The MSI 890 FX GD 70 is the best value for the money on the market 2. Get at least 850W of power (1KW can be had for $169 if you shop around) 3. if speed is your goal, get the Phenom II X6 109

er of procedural control. When the admin or admins leave, change them. Sounds simple, but far too rarely as it happens in pratice that I've headed to a client I haven't visited in a decade or so and find the same password I once used by guessing. Wich always rings true for me as a means to ensure disclosure is to those that I trust; or would trust. The discretionary access model in Gentoo is nice and to be expected; what I'd really like is a way to have my groups integrate from whichever directory service I'm using to meet the DAC mappings required on the local machine so I can enable RBAC or some other Lattice based control with local admins and limit their functions to thier jobs in an EASY fashon.
