Heres what i already have

XP2100+ TberdB
ECS K7S5A ( WANT TO CHANGE )
2 X 246 DDR 2100 ( WANT TO CHANGE )
Retail Fan ( WANT TO CHANGE )

Geforce3 V8200 Deluxe
120GB HD
2 X 40 GB HD
1 X 46GB HD
Sound blaster Audigy
Maxtor ATA Controler
Dvd Rom
LG 40X burner

What would be the best Motherboard / Ram / HSF To over clock this thing more than i am now?

XP 2100 TberdB OC @ 1858MHz @ 37C / 41C

Please help I'm gonna Upgrade on pay day ;)

I was thinking of getting this

Vantec AeroFlow VA4-C7040 SocketA Heatsink/Fan
&
Asus A7N8X-DX Nforce2 SocketA Mainboard w/5.1 Audio/2LAN/1394
&
2 X Kingston HyperX 256MB PC3500 CAS2 DDR Memory

Would this be a good setup for OC my CPU?

The mobo is top notch. I'm a corsair fan so I would get the corsair xmspc3200c2. The heatsink and fan I would get a slick tornado - oops my bad. A slk-800 from thermalright and a vantec tornado fan for your air cooling. All top notch stuff at what it does...
 
here DDR-RAM Corsair PC3500 (433) 256MB CAS 2 Would this be good?

I want to get 1 stick then once i sell my 2X 256 i'll get a oher one
 
Well I bought some kingston hyper x pc3000 and i cant run 192 fsb 100% sycn with ram timing 5 2 2 2.0 with no problem . The spec for this ram says that 183 is the speed it runs @. So If I had to upgrade again I think I would either get the twinmos 3200 ram or hyper x 3500. Hsf the new slk 900 is out or I would get an slk 800 again.
 
for the Thermalright SLK 800 what Fan should i get? And is it hard to install? copper is always heavy I wouldn't want to crush the cpu.
 
No kinda easy if you ask me better then the other 4 hsf I've had. I would get an tornada 80mm 84cfm fan but that's all personal prefrence. They are kinda loud but i keep mine under my desk.
 
Well i have mine is running 5 X 80MM fans in my case so a other one will help me sleep a little beter ;) I sleep on noise go figure


hehe

then the next step will be over clocking this after! lol Fun Fun Fun

I want to beat my friends setup with is dam P4 2.53MHZ

He's a show off and a intel freak all the way

for me its AMD only i never owned a Intel in the past
 
A 2.0 amd chip should own a 2.4 intel any day thats just my opinion LMAO.
