I would like to make a great system without spending too much money, but it has to perform. So, I figure that an XP 2500 with an NForce2 board would be a great place to start with an OC to XP3200 speed. I need USB2.0 and FireWire. I would also like an opinion on RAM. Is the Crucial PC3200 512 X 2 sticks OK for this setup? Should I go with the Kingston from NewEgg? At $225 for a gig of PC-3700, well it looks like a great deal. Any other suggestions on RAM? Do I need upgraded cooling, and if so what Zalman will fit? It looks a little cramped at the top of the MB. Everything else I can take care of, but the MB choices are hard since they are very alike. What do you all think?
I have narrowed my choices down to the following boards. My useage will be with XP and Linux, Photo and Video Editing and Gaming.
A7N8X Deluxe - $118
A7N8X-E Deluxe - $119
NF7-S - $101
LANPARTY NFII ULTRA B - $158
Any other suggestions???
Will the A7N8X-E OC like the regular delux?
Thanks for your help.
