Best Chips set?

[DDR-PIII]

which of these HERE is the best that you think ?

 

[Cooler666]

Intel 850 or maybe wait for 850E
AMD are always good too

Yes, though DDR is sometimes preferred in overclocking, the P4 was used to utilize RDRAM best, and therefore, RDRAM is best equipped to handle the bandwidth-hungry P4. DDR is good, but IMO, RDRAM is better, and thus I'd go with the i850 or i850E when it comes out. The P4 is a dog with SDRAM though, I wouldn't even consider it for someone like us who wants every bit of performance possible from their computer.

depends what you wanna do. i am running a 850, and a 845.

I personally prefer the VIA chipsets. They are usually more flexible than the Intel ones.

 

[Lt. Max]

whys it say 133 max oc for 850 chipsets?

 

[jdmcnudgent]

well, now im a tell ya, i scored 9742 on 3dm2001se, at 2300, with rambus, i will be sick at 2500. dang, i didnt know it was like that. now i got both, ddr, and rambus. yeah baby.

I would like to hear your take on both setups' performance. I'm trying to decide to go with a TH7-II (i850) or an EPOX 4bda2+ (i845D). I'm going to have to buy RAM anyway so I really don't mind either since they are around the same $$. I don't care about raw mhz. I want the best all-aroud performance.(period)
