Not sure how XP would like the 8GB RAM?
It's the right price.

I have a Phenom X4 2.6 Ghz with an Asus M3A 3 pci slots motherboard for
Paris in Norway. It's working wonderful with Mike Audet's new drivers.
If it's enough with 2 pci slots, I think it will be a good machine for
Paris. But Win 32bit systems will only see 3GB RAM of the 8 and you need one
more harddisk if you want to use it more safely for recordings.
If you also want to use it for Cubase etc., it could be a better idea to
think of the new AMD Phenom II X4 processor.
I'm writing this right now on a Phenom II X4 3Ghz overclocked 10% to 3.3 Ghz
with an Asus M3N78 Pro motherboard. I shall first of all use it with Cubase
5 and ProTools 8, when I get more time to test it out. Built it 3 weeks ago
and it have worked really nice in these weeks.

I have an SBS 7 slot I bought years ago, fired up once and never put into
action with Paris. I have 4 EDS cards just itching to live together. I've
got spare drives just laying around waiting to be used. I know I'll have to
yank down the amount of RAM to an XP happy number. More of what I'm looking
for is if anyone is using this chipset with success. This rig I posted is
blowing out at $299... hard to pass up if it will work to replace the ole'
stable XP1900+ system.

What chipset is on your M3A brotha?

M3A have an AMD 770 / SB600 chipset.
I believe Mike Audet's new drivers are "eating" nearly every chipset-things
nowadays. I have used plenty of different motherboards(20-30) with different
chipsets and graphiccards, with 2 different singlecard Paris-system, the
last ten years and for the most it was just to find new Disk i/o sizes and
disk cache size allocations to get them to work well. Can't remember any
motherboard that didn't worked with Paris. Maybe I have been lucky or is
beieng too old to remember well enough;-)
The new quad machine here have NVIDIA GeForce 8300 chipset and the one
you're looking for seems to have GeForce 8200. There can't be so much
different on these 2 chipsets in quality. Both have build in GPU, so I
believe it's a better idea to use a graphic card and not to use the build in
GPU in the motherboard when used for recordings, if you're buying it.

HI Aaron,

As long as your Magma works this could be a winner.
The Nvida 7000 series boards didn't seem to like PCI or PCI-e expansion chassis's but otherwise worked great.
I would get a better power supply but other looks great.
This should be more than enough for a Paris machine otherwise.
Pretty slow at this point for a native audio system.
Take out the 2 extra sticks of ram. They will not be used by windows and will probably cause some hardware compatibility issues.

This would make a very nice Vista 64 based office/internet system.
