XP 1800+ and k7

Would a MSI K7N2 Delta AGP 8x Chipset Nforce 2 (Rev. 2) Dual Channel DDR400 be any good combined with this: http://www.bigfootcomputers.com/Mer...=PROD&Product_Code=9279PRAM&Category_Code=920 for overclocking???

Thats a good setup but i wouldn't pay that much for the chip. I payed $56us at newegg for my 1800+ niuhb. It has run 2533mhz so far at 1.82v on an a7v8x. jixib,niuhb, and jixhb seem to be good steppings for 1800+ chips.

hey its canadian bucks.

Yeah, but $US58 = $CAN76. $109.00 is too much.

has it for $US58.00 as well and they ship all over the world, even here to Micronesia.

The K7N2 Delta is a good stable overclocker, but does not have holes for mounting a waterblock; you'll have to use a socket mounting kit and mod it:

I did have one wierd bit with this board: the bios came up with a checksum error and would not boot. I had to switch the FSB MHZ jumper to 100MHZ, boot, flash the bios, and then switch it back, then all was well. Otherwise, it's been a great board.

It might be worth paying a premium since you get a guaranteed jixib,but i would look around your local dealers if possible. Try to find a shop that will let you view the steppings before buying.
