Alright, I have a GA-8IHXP right now and i was wanting to get a new board since this thing wont overclock that well, and I was wondering if you guys can help me pick out a good mobo (has to be RDRAM) for a low price.

RDRAM is a dying breed... sell that sucker and get a Canterwood chipset dual DDR Abit IC7 system.

I've had an Abit TH7-II RDRAM system for over 15 months now. It's been a great rig and I don't regret it. But, today I just ordered a new Abit IC7. Rest in peace RDRAM.

I'd say go with the Abit IC7, it's most likely the best overclocker out there, plus they have always been stable..

Might wanna check out the memory section. Here is a list of some of the more popular PC3200 or PC3500 RAM brands used in overclocking: Corsair XMS, Kingston HyperX, Mushkin black label, OCZ EL series, and TwinMOS.
