i just scored my first dual board and it should be here in a few days. any suggestions as to the best hsf to put on this bad boy? also any tips in general as i enter the world of smp?
heres my plan so far:
GA-7DPXDW+
2 xp1700s(modified of course)
512 mb crucial pc2100
2 wd 120 gb se in raid 0(using onboard raid)
gainward gf3 ti450 w/128 mb ddr
some cd-rws and a dvd-rw
enermax 431watt ps

is this all gunna work?
 
That board worked flawlessly for the the first time I turned it on. I don't think you'll have any problems. For HSFs I used Millenium Glaciator IIs, but you could go with less because overclocking with this board isn't much, it only has FSB and DRAM tweaks.
 
well so far so good. i have the fsb at 140 with the standar retail fans that came with my xp1700s. i'll probably put some better cooling in this weekend and see if i can bump it up a little higher. this smp world is pretty sweet, no lag whatsoever and 2 instances of folding running. i likes.
