Hi all:

My son and I are putting together a system. We want to use a 1.2 GHz T-Bird and the IWILL 266. We have some questions.

1. How do we know which T-Bird to buy (package, color, serial numbers, location of mfgr., etc.).
2. Will this board overclock this processor to 1.5 GHz?
3. What RAM should we use?

Thank you for your time, we appreciate it.

Mr.Ed, I am building a similar system myself now. After many weeks and countless review, forum and article reading, I came up w/ the following;
AMD T-Bird 1.1ghz -200 or 266 fsb ( you are overclocking anyway, buy what is cheapest.)
Crucial 256mb cas-2 non ECC / unregistered SDRAM

The reason for these choices were that alot of the reviewers used the same and were able to get very good results.
As far as 1.5ghz is concerned, that is very dependant on having good case and CPU cooling. Also not all 1.1 or 1.2 chips overclock the same. Good Luck.
