Thanks John for the input.

I've looked over the ASUS m4a89GTD from newegg and it's just what the
doctor ordered! I have it in my "wish list (need to save up for it)".
I also have Corsair memory in my wish list.
CORSAIR XMS 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000)
Desktop Memory
Model CMX8GX3M2A2000C9

I'm going to order two sets so the mobo will be maxed and with Corsair
I'm guaranteed the best memory performance (I always use Corsair
brand) because Corsair tested kick a** in my Asus P5P800 Intell 775LGA
Socket and also in my ASUS AMD A7N8X Deluxe Socket A (both boards are
dead now but gave me years of best use). both systems was O'clockable.
TIA.

Nice !
I investigated some optional motherboard exchange, because I have a
smal problem with my M4A78-E motherboard and 'supsend to ram', S3,
with windows 7 64. Over time S3 has stopped working. It may generate
memory dump. At first I thought it was a worn-out PSU. Bought a 650
watt Corsair PSU. It did not help. I then thought of exchanging
motherboard to m4a89GTD and buy ddr3 ram. But I tried to boot on a
live-linux-DVD. Then S3 works perfectly. So the problem is my windows
7.
I therefore keep my m4a78-e and 8 Gb ddr2 ram. I probably make another
installation of OS. I don't know how the problem with S3 arised. It
was not the SP1 for windows 7. But probably some of the brandnew
browsers installation: IE9, firefox and chrome.
I use a 60 Gb corsair force SSD for OS to speed up things.

best regards

John
