AMD64 X2 3800 AM2 + ABIT KN9 ULTRA..

are they a good couple?? gonna last long?
whats your opinion about ABIT KN9 ULTRA? is it a good Motherboard? or you have any suggestion about other MoBo?

abit has came a long way. its not a bad motherboard now.

in general all mobo are not bad. its all in how the user installs it. i would definatly stay away from asrock though. if you want something more reliable, go with asus or msi. both have a good 3 year warranty. but asus rma process a little tedius compaired to msi.

Abit has lost some glory in recent years but still retains its name for making very OC friendly mobo's...
