    First time building an amd... need a lil help

    no it isnt, the A64 instalation is a breeze... works like a charm and you cant damage the CPU core unless you really MEAN it (hammer etc. involved). Anyway, there is an issue i read somewhere about some motherboards not coping well with 2 512MB sticks but i havent seen that happen.
