thank you very, very much. I can feel the little "DOOM" cloud that has been hovering nearby quivering in dismay.

hehe, well glad to help..

If you got more questions then feel free to ask.

AAHHH, the doom cloud! HD is outta stock, but powda said I can work with my current one, if I buy XP, but will it fit on a 13 gig HD?
also, the cheaper mobo has a 333/266/200MHz FSB. I know enough to know that the BUS has alot to do with CPU performance, will this be detrimental if I overclock or anything?
lastly, will the heatsink Zatrais reccommended be enough for the overclocking powda did?

Yup 13 gig is big enough... barely.. you won't have room for anny newer games since they take alott of space. PS for instance will take roughly 2 gigs.

get this instead
WD WESTERN DIGITAL 60GB 7200RPM EIDE HARD DRIVE MODEL # WD600JB (600JB) - OEM, DRIVE ONLY $96

Western digital are good HD's also, thatone also has a 8mb cache.

edit or this:
WESTERN DIGITAL "SPECIAL EDITION" 80GB 7200RPM EIDE HARD DRIVE MODEL # WD800JB - OEM, DRIVE ONLY 20 gigs more for $6 more or $102

sorry, I edited my post again, with MORE questions.

Zatrais · 2003-03-06, 03:52 PM

thats the FSB range the motherboard supports, the actual FSB depends on your CPU. This is changed when you OC and the A7N8X has a stepless fsb scaler...

As for the cooling, you'll need some case fans also if you want to OC.. that fan i recomended is made for 2700 chips so i imagen it'll let you OC some. Best to have powda discribe his own cooling system tho.
