Here we go:

What I want to do is replace my motherboard, with a newer one, get an AthlonXP 1800+ processor, and replace my current ram with a 512mb PC2700 DDR chip. I also want to O/C the crap out of it.

So.... Here's my requirements:
- AthlonXP 1800+ (Or better)
- Motherboard with excelent O/C ability
- Good processor cooler (The best perferably)
- 512mb DDR 333mhz PC2700 ram chip.
- Max total price of $350 (Talked the wife up from $300)

Here's what I've found on my own: (At www.tcwo.com)
- AthlonXP 1800+ OEM $79.00
- 512MB PC2700 333MHz $129.00
- Soyo Dragon Lite KT333 $89.00
- Thermal Take Volcano7 SocketA/370 Copper $18.00
- Antec Silver Thermal Compound Reference Series $9.00
Total $324.00

Anyone Know where to get this stuff cheaper? I get paid on the 13th, and want the best "bang" for my buck. Any other types of components that you guys/gals think would be better and still keep me under my $350 limit?

Thanks for any and all responces.
 
Well then I guess it's good you stopped me on the Volcano 7, but what do you guys recommend?
 
if u want a hsf that'll work with overclocking try the Swiftech MCX462

or go watercooling
or better yet get a vapochill

woops didnt read your budget...watercooling and vapochill outta your range.....but if u want to overclock the hell out of it wouldnt u want the best cooling possible? air cooling only so far u can go...water u could push it even further...and looking at the vapochill thats gotta be the ultimate straight outta the box.......unless you start doin your own mods to make it even better

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
