Hi everyone,
I've finally decided to upgrade my thoroughbred system with a faster AMD64 System. I've been reading and reading through all the entire forum and I've narrowed my choice of motherboards down to the Epox EP-8KDA3+ and the Gigabyte GA-K8NS PRO. The epox one is more expensive and I would like to get the Epox EP-8KDA3J but its currently out of stock at newegg.com. Which one of these has multiplier control, because I would like to use that to attain a good FSB and mulitplier.
Also I'm deciding between a AMD64 2800+, 3000+, and 3200+. They are all on my price range. The 3400+ seems to expensive and the 1 meg of cache doesnt really speed things up to warrent the cost. Which one of these processors overclock the best? I also have 2 sticks of twinmos pc3200 ch-5 memory chips from my old system that I will put into my new AMD64 System.
So if anyone would care to give me any advice on which ones I should buy that would be greatly appreciated. I will be overclocking and converting my old watercooling system over to the new AMD64 System.
Thanks for any advice anyone can offer, sorry I've been out of the loop for a while and just came back and read all the information I can cram into my head.
