I'm about to buy the ABIT NF7-S nForce2 Chipset Motherboard. I'll most likley be getting the Mobile XP 2500, maybe the 2600. I dont know why type of RAM to get, but I want to O/C with this system as much as I'll be able to with air cooling for now, while I save up for a water cooling system
Motherboard Specifications:
Supported CPU: AMD Duron/Athlon/Athlon XP Processors
Chipset: NVIDIA nForce2 SPP + MCP-T
FSB: 400/333/266MHz
RAM: 3x DIMM for DDR333/266 Max 3GB, 2x DIMM for DDR400 Max 2GB
IDE: 2x ATA 133 up to 4 Devices
Slots: 1x AGP 8X/4X, 5x PCI
Ports: 2xPS/2,2xCOM,1xLPT,SPDIF Out,6xUSB2.0(Rear 2),1xLAN,Audio Ports
Onboard Audio: nVIDIA SoundStorm APU(Dolby 5.1) + 6-Channel AC97 CODEC
Onboard LAN: 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet
Onboard SATA/RAID: 2x Serial ATA, RAID 0/1
Onboard 1394: 2 Ports
Form Factor: ATX
Sooo... 3x DIMM for DDR333/266 Max 3GB, 2x DIMM for DDR400 Max 2GB That basically means I should use the two DIMM slots for DDR400 and get two sticks of PC3200 (DDR400 200MHz) RAM, is that what you would do?
