OK, I've laid down the money to get myself the Asus P4P800 and P4 2.4C 800FSB chip. I'm going to use my existing Kingston Hyper-x DDR's and I;m going to be installing SB Live! and FireWire PCI cards. Also bought myself some AS "Ceramique" and the Fortron 350W PSU. Please give me your thoughts on this rig. This rig should keep me smiling for quite some time.
My concern is: I've read posts about using the 4:5 vs 1:1 memory ratio and FSB speeds of like 250 (or whatever). Someone please explain how you get 250+ FSB speeds... I haven't been keeping up with the technology lately. Given the cpu that I'm going to use, what are my best setup parameters for a solid/fast system? I'm not liquid cooling, so I'm not going for 3.0GHz OC, but something subtle like 2.7 or 2.8 (air cooling). Do I use 1:1? What RAM timings are the most stable (i.e. 5 2 2 2)? This Hyper-X RAM isn't as solid as Corsair XMS, but it comes in a close 2nd place!
Someone just please tell me how you would set ii up if it were yours given the same exact parts...
Thanks in advance
