looking to upgrade to A64 (been reading alot)

[azure]

I am planning on upgrading to an A64 (3400), a clawhammer. I have been waiting for the Asus 250gb and have been reading quite a bit about the MSI neo Platinum and have narrowed it down to those 2 boards. What I am wondering is, has anyone had problems with compatibility with items in my sig. I plan on trying a little oc to 2.3 or 2.4, does this seem realistic? One more question, what air cooling do you think I should get. I was thinking about a 939 3500 but don't really want to wait for the boards etc, and I'll probably sell this rig in a year and upgrade completely fresh next time. Thanks for the advice, I'll be buying in a week and a half.

it is only un realistic w/ the asus bord. for some reson they dont seem to have pci locks, so your limited to about a 100 mhz oc. i have the neo plat ant its great, only prob is that i cant change the lane NB hs b/c my leadtek 6800GT's masive cooling solution is in the whay, which sucks. anywhay, its a good board

I went with the ZNF-250 Great bord for oc'ing. Best in the Anandtech line up.
