Hello everyone!! As you can tell I am new to this board!!! I hope to enjoy being involved in the dialogue better than just reading about it!!

I am in the process of a new build on a P4C800-e Deluxe and cant decide on a good memory-cpu setup!! I have been looking at the Corsair twinx 1gb bundles(pc4000 especially) and it seems everywhere I turn I am let down with the possibility of using a 3.0+ processor to optimize its potential! What might I be able to expect?? I have heard that the 3.0 and 3.2 cant even get much more than a 10% fsb increase... Im planning on a few good heatsinks and much airflow!!

see sig and copy...nobody has a better 3dmark score aircooled on a non ee P4....for that metter there are only a couple ee Ps with better scores aircooled and they are using XTs...suggest KHX3000 if you can't get KHX3200

PC4000 or higher have crap timings ... the performance can be beat by running 2-2-2-5 High FSB and 5:4
