overclockiung rules!
 
any one have a 3.1 cpu yet, no! i do - and sometimes it is a 3.2!
 
with this new Abit BH7 mobo on a quick run my 3dmark2001se (not that it means anything) went up 7k to 17k from 10k maybe the o/c Ti4600 helped as well

The sweetest mobo coming out is Gigabyte GA-8KNXP Ultra. PATA RAID, SATA RAID, and dual-channel Ultra 320. This is based on the i875P chipset with ICH5R (for SATA RAID). Me want....badly. Damn the car payments!

go for it, cavalier is a great car and will last for a long time if you don't run the p1ss out of it like the little "fast and the furious" kids that live near me.

Nice, now I've got a question. Your specs list your gaming/overclocking rig with 512MB of RAM. Do you use a single stick of ram or a matched pair of Dual-Channel sticks?

I've run across more problems tweaking and overclocking when using multiple sticks of ram then a single stick

Yeah I noticed that, nice

Myself I'm looking to get a matched pair of Dual Channel sticks for my Canterwood board. Been looking at the Corsair TwinX and the Kingston HyperX kits. Seems the Corsair sticks are better for overclocking for sure

Also, I picked up one of the Zalman Solid Copper Flower Blooms for my rig. Comes standard with a generic 92mm fan but you can easily stick on a 120mm fan as well. Forget about the speed controller, don't you want a cooler running CPU

i have heard good about the kingston - someone on hard forums got a 2.4c upto 4ghz using hyper X. (or it may have been a 3.0c but sure it was a 2.4c)
 
 
dual channel would be good - i am having issue with my p4s533 - my 9700 PRO it seems to display like checkers on the monitor in the back ground, almost the same color as the background - so may replace that mobo with a new ABIT IS7 or something as i do not have this issue with my 9700 in my other systems.
 
have not yet decided - more worried about my w/c setting up now once my rad arrives.

Running: a P4 - 2.4C, may attempt some overclocking.
Abit IS7 (excellent board for overclocking)

The rest is standard boring fare.
