and a 1mb cache...

vga is a Msi radeon 9800 pro

memory 1 gig crucial pc 3200 ddr 400

EPoX 5LWA+ when it comes out :D

I hear the DFI's are sweet Intel boards....
 
What socket will that processor be in 478 or LGA775;

as a general rule the higher end boars overclock excellently

personally id have -- DFi, Epox (happy frag??) and some Abit Boards (in descending order of oc-ability);

if not overclockin (asif) i would also reccomend asus gigabyte and some other makes

eye up a motherboard and tell us the mobel and chipset and we will inform you if it is good; also the Nforce chipset is headed to the Pentium platform so it may be worth while waiting

yea i uploaded the wrong 1 .. DOH nu 1 should b up tho :whack: for me
 
Abit IC7-G Max II advance is the best choice right . Make sure you buy mosfet sinks for your board and have some fan blowing over them if you aim on hitting 4 ghz with that monster.

DFI is a good board as well. Asus has a nice 875 chipset mobo but it really desperately needs Vdroop mod of else gl getting to 4 ghz stable with it.
 
Seen this board what do you guys think..could i hit 4ghz with this.

i Wont be useing water to cool system...

Looks good mate....you may be able to with a good chip!

Give the thermalright xp-120 a god for cooling, coupled with a high speed Panaflo fan and you've got a decent air cooled OC'ing rig! :wavey:
