Hi!
Im ineed of some advice from follow people about this overclocking lark..
compared to you guys (and girls?) im a novice, this im sure of because of what i read in the thread and the forums..
i have just bought myself a Epox EP-8RDA+ motherboard with one of the new xp1700 JUIHB (what you call 'em) cpus that are good for overclocking..
i do have limited knowledge but i do know how to build and overclock to a modest standard.
but this is where i need some help.
i have been posting in a few other places and well they all say different things and i need some advice from the professionals!
with the new motherboard and cpu i need memory and a case and then im set. a dvd rom and dvdr will come later, but they arent needed at the moment.
please could someone help me understand what memory speed and type of memory to get.. i know its ddr (
) but what types are best and what speeds are best for a high fsb?
i have been told that pc3500 stuff isnt worth anything and this twinx stuff from corsair is best to get because they have been tested to make sure they work.. but then im told theres no difference in them and its just marketing!! help!!!
i want the best for the pc, so i dont want to hold it back in anyway other than graphics card, until something from ati comes out and blows away the competition..
i liked the 9700 pro so i want something faster than that, but im prepaired to wait for that.. the geforce 3 ti 200 shall do for the time being.. sadly
if anyone can recommend a novice what to get, he would be really happy and greatfull to all!!! if water cooling is the way forward for me, i will give it a go, but i have no confidence!!! please help me and im so sorry for the such a long message!! i will try harder next time!!! PROMISE!!!!
thanks always
