I am about to build a new system
(currently on kt266a mobo + xp1800 cpu + pc2100 ddr)
I have been looking to upgrade to a Nforce2 system and buying an XP2100+
with the AIUHB CPU, a good cooler and some PC3200 memory I am confident I could reach XP2800 performances.
but that's a new board, a new CPU, some new memory and some decent cooling...nice bill since I am also planning in getting an alu case.
So I thought "lets check the Intel alternative."
I have so far ignored anything Intel since I was happy with my system.
To my surprise, i found out that I could buy a P4 2.4B GHz CPU that should delivered as much performance than an XP2600 at the same price.
also I read that these CPUs overclock easily .... and far better than the XP2600 at default voltages.
now here's my question.
What motherboard and memory do you guys advice knowing that I will want to overclock this CPU a little (i.e. quietly and on air)?
thanks in advance for posting.
