Hi,

I am getting a new system on the name of "C&C 3" and "Supreme Commander".

I am thinking to get the Gigabyte P35-DS3 (RM450+) with Intel cheapest Core 2 processor (E4200 1.8GHz) + 4x 1GB Kingston value RAM DDR667.

I could like to know if I am making the right decision on components choices. Can you guys estimate on how much I can overclock the processor on such selected component? My understanding is that one do not need high speed RAM to overclock FSB because there is multiplier for memory.

Please advice and correct me if I am wrong in any sense. I need to know if I should instead replace the 4x 1GB value RAM with 2x 1GB HyperX 1066 RAM.

And thanks for reading.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Honestly speaking, I think OC to 3.0GHz is really good enought for me liao...

How high do you think it can do with the stock fan?

Anyway, which processor do you recommend?

I am actually thinking of using cheapest processor with better motherboard first... than maybe 18 months later (next Christmas) upgrade the processor and maybe graphic card lo...

Please advice...

Hmm... So you are also going for the cheapest Core 2 processor, right?

Well, I just keep to my plan then...

By the way, how's the overclockability of P35-DQ3? Recommeded?
