i am wondering which CPU and RAM combination is good combination for OC.

Purpose: to produce a 1 full DVD (from DV format) in Pinnacle studio 9.4 in the fastest time possible (the old rig athlon 2400+ dual proc took 12 hours). multitasking ability needed.

Currently plan to use stock HSF first. Later may add heatsink.

Mobo: DFI NF4 lanparty UT ultra-D (no SLI)
HDD: WD 200GB sataII (no $$ for raptor) need lots of space. 1 hour video is 13GB.

procs:
1.AMD64 X2 (MANCHESTER) 3800+ (RETAIL) = RM 1280
2. AMD64 OPTERON 165 (DUAL CORE) SOCKET 939 (RETAIL) = RM 1260

ram:
1. CRUCIAL BALLISTIX 2048 PC4000 3-4-4-8= RM 1500
2. CORSAIR TWINX2048-4000 PC4000 3-4-4-8= RM 1180
3. CORSAIR TWINX2048-3200C2 PC3200 2-3-3-6= RM 1145

opty 165 higher quality chip. running it now at 20 degrees C with SI-120 heat sink, no air con.

if you buy the high end cores then go for toledos. btw opterons are toledos too.

if you buy low end cores, then go for manchester cores. afaik this is because the no-so-good toledos that fail the QC for 4800+ are rated at 4400 and 4200. (refer to hardware recommendation thread).

so far i see tccd, uccc, brainpower, no problem. but if wanna run 1:1 then only tccd can do it. first choice will be gskill

i run divider 9/10 and 5/6 without problem. but the nearer to 1:1 the better
