nfm Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 If you want 2Gb of memory take 2x1GB not 4X512MB because your system will only run with 2T Command rate because of on-die memory controller that athlons have. I f you want 2x1gb take ballistix, they're are best right for overclocking. I would recommend taking 2x512MB G.SKILL LE or OCZPC3200 REV.2 or GEIL ONE, all of them are TCCX samsung chips and you will clock them easily to DRR600. I Run my OCZ Rev.2 at DRR612 2.5-4-3-7 timings and like 20 other timings set to tightest. For power suply I would recommend OCZ POwerSTream 600W or PC Power Cooling 520W. ANd DFI is the best mobo on market today, no doubt, nobody can prove me wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DFI owns ASUS period. Take DFI SLI-DR $169 and get ready for SLI, also this one has SATA2, some versions of -D non sli don't have SATA2. That second graphic slot willl just wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamiQuazi Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 @Kamil:I would rather have 2 1gb stick due to upgrades later... and i don't want SLI because just like dual-cpus there WILL be dual-gpus... so im just gonna wait... and what would the point of have 2 cards that already have 2 gpus? ...just curious on that one... but anyways... can u link me to the PSU? I was looking for GEIL in 1 gb stick but couldn't find them... I want SATA 2.. the DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra doesn't have any? Damnit then... i need a mobo with SATA 2... i'll be back later @ 5 or so... i have to go to work... so peace out... tILl +H3N m5PHN.ORG 15 T3H lE3t!!!

dale5605 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I think this would be the best choice for power supply:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817104153The fan is green LED btw if that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekrel Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I wouldnt say the DFI owns the asus board, at overclocking it has more features and voltage options at hand which makes it a better board in the eyes of an overclocker.However the extra space between the PCi-e slots on the Asus and the northbridge heatpipe are very good, esp for people who want 3rd party card coolers which wouldnt fit in the DFI board.The Asus is flakey with bios support for the X2 chips aswell from what I have read.

KamiQuazi Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 @Ripken204:There is no link to the case... @Porn Loader: Don't u think that case would be a 81TcH to keep clean? I like it... Espically that it holds 3 120mm fans... keepin' it cool@everyone:I like the OCZ Powerstream OCZ600ADJ ATX12V 600W Power Supply 100-120V AC/200-240V AC TUV, UL, CSA, CE, CB, FCC...
