Question about what to Buy
Wow you guys look like you know whats going on so i will ask my question here. I am looking to build a new gaming rig. I am
considering purchasing a 3.0C, an Asus P4P800-SE mobo, and Corsair PC4000 dual channel RAM:

This setup is the reesult of my inital research and i was wondering if you guys could help me refine it a little. I would like to reacg 250 FSB with memory setting at 2.5-3-3-8.
1. Should I go with a 2.4C or 2.8C instead...does the higher FSB obtainable with these yield better overall performance than higher the CPU but lower FSB of a 3.0C (please elaborate or post benchmarks)
2. I see a lot of people not satisfied with Corsiar RAM so I am defiantely considering buying OCZ or Mushkin...anyone have a type they now works with this setup?
3. Just double-checking but this mobo does support locked AGP/PCI, right?
4. I want to know whether I can get a system like this (2.4C, 2.8C, or 3.0C) to run with the memory settings I want on this mobo or should i try an Abit board instead?
Thanks for the help guys and Clock On!
