Ok thanks for the tips and explain the OC procedure... btw ,


Do you know if anyone is coming out with a 6x or 8x dvd burner ?
Any time soon?
Also would you water cool this computer?

new plextor 8x dvd burner thread a few days ago. and here is a link to the product page.

the motherboard will have a 800mhz fsb and will only be able to run the memory at 400mhz. if you want the memory to run at 500mhz, you'll need to increase the fsb to 1000mhz. this will, of course, also increase your processors clock 20% (3.2ghz will be at 3.84ghz!).

if noise is an issue, water cooling is something to think about. especially if you're going to overclocking. then again, i've never even built a p4 machine so i don't know the heat characteristics first-hand. i hear some people overclocking pretty high and still using the stock heatsink. go with normal air cooling for now and see how it goes.

and you're welcome.

WD Raptor HD for bootdrive
Seagate 120 gig for storage

n if u need a monitor any monitor that has a refresh rate of 25ms or less is good for gaming in lcd

alienware, or get an E-Machine and spend the rest on drugs, then you'll atleast think your in a game. But the 2nd choice is only if you plan on dieing.

I would buy an nforce chipset board a gig of good ram,and a 9800 all in wonder.And of course dont forget the xp 3200
256 megs of vga ram is useless right now for gaming unless u do multiple tasking in photoshop or something

isn't it a fact that intel canterwood chipsets coupled with 'c' version northwoods smack anything from amd in the desktop department silly

if one is to build a system now.. canterwood mobo /3.0C is the way to go... else wait till september... athlon 64 drops then...
