thats odd, unless they discontinued the part, it should be there (i bought this stuff this winter).

Everything you need to know should be included in the manual for the motherboard. You really don't need a book.

Ok, that's good to know. Yeah, I couldn't find the

MB AMD VIA K8T800|SL-K8AV2-RL SOLTK
Item# N82E16813180056

If it's as easy as you say, I think I will try to build my own since I think the AMD 64 processor has an edge over the Intel chips.

its a soltek motherboard, I can't seem to find it either. Maybe it was discontinued? Hopefully there isn't a problem with it. Anyway, all you need is a motherboard that fits the socket size of your amd processor that you choose, and that fits the case that you choose. There will probably be a couple, I chose mine based on its reviews on newegg. Get one with a decent sized front side bus. There is a ton of info out on the net about all this stuff, spend a few hours and check it out.

go with an ASUS mother board... they are the most stable of any MB I've ever used...

I've built 100s of PCs, anyone can do it...
