lol, 424 on that x850xtpe card, still a good deal compared to the geforce 7800 gtx which reigns in at 599, lol.

u could always get the XT version of it

[flashystylez]

on that post about the Corsair XMS PC3200 that you had posted I should get. Does the TwinX really matter? As I have 1.5 Gigs of Corsair XMS PC3200 That looks identical to those, down to the stickers, its 2X256MB and 1X1024MB chips, I would use those in his system, but thought they werent great for overclocking in my Asus Board with an XP [email protected] ghz.. I cant go beyond 200 mhz freq with out the computer freezing...

[GuJuMaN89]

its cuz of timings, they are crap, i replaced my kingston valuve for corsair value, and i was sad, couldnt over clock worth crap with corsair value

That ram is awesome cold, I recommend it as well.

Mushkin Redline PC4000. Best ram out right now, period. I keep asking people to show me some TCCD that will do 270+ FSB at 2-2-2-5 like this stuff will. Oh, that's right, there isn't any.

If you go with the DFI board you need to get ram that can take a lot of voltage.

I'd have to disagree with the ram, but everything else looks great. For serious overclocking the g.skill pc4800 takes the cake - 300mhz+ @ 2.5-3-3-8 is common. Little looser timings, but 30+mhz more then makes up for .5cas. It all depends on the stick really - a good ocing redline that can hold tight timings a bit higher then that will be better then a "dud" g.skill that can only hit 305+using 3cas.

Redline scales as well you know, it isn't locked at 2-2-2-5. And who uses 300 + FSB on a A64 anyway? Not saying that you cannot get there on those CPUs but with any multi in the double digits it isn't going to happen without phase change.

Thats why u drop the multi . People dont use it becuase most ram cant. I'd MUCH rather have 300x9 then 270x10. Which is possible on air with a well cooled venice.

I'd go with BionicSniper, except a 3500+, a Seagate HD, and this ram:

I have seen mixed results when playing with the multi/fsb combos. But yes, you should atleast try different combos and bench them to see what is best in your individual rig.
