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 1090T
As for drives and cases, the OCZ Vertex 2 in raid 0 will run blazingly
fast. Get 4 drives in raid 5, 2TB can be had for about 80.
I've been running 64 bit gentoo for a while yet, some minor issues
with flash and a couple of others but those are probably my compile
time settings on these applications.
I already ordered the stuff now tho. Newegg might get upset if I send
some of it back. ;-)
I'm hoping amd64 will work as well for me to then. Thanks for the info
on flash tho. I read where some had trouble a while back but was hoping
it was fixed by now.
Now to go subscribe to the amd64 mailing list to.
