[[COLOR=red]Hi , I'm getting a pentiumD with 533mhz FSB <INTEL = 133MHZ>

I plan on overclocking this proc to 3.Oghz for now , with future plans to somewhere around 3.8ghz.

FSB = 150
MULTIPLIER = 20


150x20= 3ghz

From my understanding , a DDRII533 should be more than enough for oc'ing it to

4GHZ = 200 <FSB> x 20 <MULTIPLIER>


A DDRII533 is 266mhz so should suffice..

OR NOT lol please advice

Getting tomorrow

Mobo is Asus P5ND2 SLI <Nforce4chipset>
Getting a zalman CNPS9700 HSF too.

I fully understand the other bits , just the RAM.

I chose to go with pentium D coz Intel seemed to be clearer for me in terms of Overclocking and it's limits. AMD i'm clueless lol

going back to my RAM question.

A DDR400 will support a Proc with 800mhz FSB , and will run at synch right?

So to get <for example> 4ghz from a pentiumD with 533mhz<133> FSB , i will need to "UP" it's FSB to 800mhz<200>and match it with a DDR400 or DDRII533<lowest DDRII>

yea?

thanx xenO , will look around.

So I basically get the performance of a dual core 38OOghz with the cheapest Athlon64x2 , haha i'm seriously converting to AMD now.
What's a good overclocking Mobo for the AM2 ? *OMG* At 2.5ghz it will rival the 48OO+ , WICKED :>

hey guys , what's a good overclocking board for under RM3OO

thank you lots , decided on the AMD dualcore. cheers

My plan precisely , by the way i have a budget of RM3OO for a graphic card. which one is best?

Colourful 7300GT EXTREME 128MB
8 pipe line
128 BIT
500 Core clock
1500 memory clock

OR

Colourful 7300GT 256MB DDRII
8 pipe line
128 BIT
4OO Core clock
8OO memory clock

I asked around and everyone seems to recommend the "GT" version. and So far the Nvidia 7300 series "GT" fits my budget. If there are better alternatives , please recommend them to me.

Will the 128MB over 256MB make a big difference? If so , I should get the GC with more RAM but slightly less Core clock / mem clock?


Also , does more pipe line equals more performance <Frames per sec>?

For example :

Winfast 7300GT EXTREME 256DDR
12 pipe line
128 BIT
520 Core clock
1400 memory clock

Arigato~ Colorful 7600GT 256MB DDR3 looks nice.

The card i'm getting is Colorful 73OOGT 256MB DDRII - RM290 <budget>

8Pipe line , 128Bit , 400core/800memory clock.

By duing simple mathematics , It beats the ATi X1600Pro

400x8= Fill Rate 3200 mega pixel / sec
8OOx{128/8{ = Memory bandwidth 128OO Megabyte/sec

Not bad right? It'll play Battlefield 2142 in Mid settings after my RAM upgrade.




I will get the Colorful 7600GT 256MB DDR3 - RM505 , next time haha.

Edit : Will getting a card with more core clock speed and less RAM <256vs128> increase performance? or decreaases it? lol can I susbstitute the lack of RAM on the graphic card...no lol never mind

I thought 6600gt beats 73OO and 73OOGS and roughly the same as 73OOGT


What's the performance difference/boost in getting a DDR3 anyways? It's the memory bandwidth I'm guessing?

i'll get the winfast 7300gt extremt 128mb ddr3

any oppositions?


THank you lads
