Ok,
First of all I would like to thank everyone in my previous thread about Athlon XP 3200+ boards. On my other set of forums they sort of convinced me into the possibility of getting an Athlon64 processor. Originally I wasn't going for it, because I won a free danger den water cooling kit with the Maze4, however I didn't want to change the block in order to use a 64 chip... so I was leaning towards the 3200+...
Now that I'm leaning a bit in the other direction, I'm curious to find out what kind of setups you guys have with your Athlon64. What kind of motherboards are you guys using? To be honest since I am setting up Water Cooling, and I am going to have a window, I want something with a little color... doesn't matter what color, but Asus Green doesn't cut it for me.
What kind of memory are you guys using? Are you over clocking both memory and motherboard? If so, are there any guides [great guides, I know they're all over the place but I want YOUR input with what you had experience with] that you guys are using for Water Cooling? Specifics too, voltages, bus speeds, etc...
If you can provide me with links and prices too, this is going to be lasting me for awhile [well that depends!]. I'm not really shooting for anything with PCI-Express, but I don't think the 64 boards have it yet do they? [Unless it was an old article I read].
Thanks for the input!
