ok, I am new to intel stuff. The last intel I had was a 600 Mhz celeron. Ever since then I have been AMD.
I am putting together an Intel P4 rig. The current rig is a dual Athlon MP.
1, I want to use the 2100 DDR memory from the old dual board in
the new Intel rig. What is the fastest / most reliable chipset to
do this with?
2, Will 2100 memory take me very far? It is 512 mb of samsung
2100 in 2x256 dimms. Will this be maxed out at 533?
3, Chip and motherboard recomendations. I am looking at the
MSI and the Asus. Also looking at a 2.2.
Anything else I should be aware of?
Thanks in advance for the help guys.

if you go with the ddr, 845 chipset, get a asus p4b533 board or the new p4pe ddr board. i would also stay away from the 2.2 chip. best chip to ge it going to be 1.8a or 2.a chip, or if you can wait, any chip with the new c1 stepping, as they will all most all be good overclockers
