depends on ur mobo.....can it support it? whats the price difference?

my mobo support the fbs of 200/266/333 so yes. the price dif. is &#036;10

@lamsey ty for the tip, i was planning on using pc2700 rams. so i guess ill go w/ barton....their goes the &#036;10 for my extra uv cold cathode [/b][/quote]
The cathode looks pretty, but is it really useful to you? You&#39;ll be better going for an efficient CPU/RAM combo

correcto..... think performance first....then all those "nice" things

Blimey, I got a Soltek mobo on which I can set the CPU & RAM independently. Aren&#39;t they all separately controlled now, then?

[clocker]

My Asus board allows that also.

Most modern mobos allow it, but it&#39;s not an efficient way to run a PC.

What meaneth thou?

As far as I know, it&#39;s more efficient to have your CPU FSB and your RAM running at the same speed. That way one never has to wait some cycles for the other to catch up.

yea..... my mobo has 333fsb.....although im running 266 kingston ram and 266 cpu (for economical issues )

when i buy my new cpu (since the mobo supports till 3000+), ill prolly have to get other ram (333 one, since the cpu i would buy would be 333)

Ah,
so you mean that it&#39;s more efficient to run your RAM and CPU synchronous.
I agree, although I have seen threads in which radical OCers are getting pretty amazing results running asynch, but they are running settings that would make my parts beg for mercy (if not just go belly up ).

btw clocker.....WHERE are all your fans plugged in?
