    New cpu and hs/f...Do I need thermal paste?

    Agree with zakee00, I have stock thermal pad on my cooler ( not the AMD default one tho ), and have my A64-3000 Winie running at 2475 stable and cool:)

    what is your highest overclock with the a64?

    A64-3000 Stable at 260 x 9 = 2340 with 2 x 512 Corsair XMS XL running at 1:1 of course, and full load temp 47'C with copper heat sink (will get an XP120 and lower it a bit more as well). will boot at 275 but is not stable beyond 270 in Prime95 and Memtest. CPU voltage is stock ( I recon...

    X800 XT... "PE"? Difference is what?

    It is just a small clock speed diff, and not something to write home about imho. It is not SUCH a big difference, and on 99.9% of the occations you will be able to clock your no PE card with ati tool easily as high and maybe higher if you need to. As Steffenm said they are noy out on AGP...

    12ms 19" LCD for 350. any good?

    Most 19" have 1280 tbh, thing is dude, take a look at the LG monitor they have for 19", tis 1280, no DVI of course for this range, and 12ms, and tis LG with a guarantee of 0 pixel tollerence!! Better to go with something known to the market imho.

    Best Memory for A8N Asus Deluxe???

    I got 2 x 512 Corsair XMS XL, and worked fine when I first put them on, immediately run at 2-2-2-5, and o/c well as well, im at 9 x 265 atm, with A64-3000, and the memory is just fine:) I would thing the OCZ EL Rev 2.0 will be such as good tbh.

    What is the best TwinX1024-3200 Corsair memory model?

    I know for sure that the XL's do 2-2-2-5 cause I have them:) So get those, there is another model as well that is exactly the same as the XL (chip and timings wise) but they dont have the LED's on top! Maybe that's the two prices you are seeing, the 1 with the leds and the 1 with out, same...

    Are APG video cards still worth it?

    Housecat has everything right in my opinion as well. I just got a new rig with A8N-SLI, I was to get the MSI Neo 2, but when I learned that pci-e is coming to the AMD I waited, and its worth the wait. I got an MSI 6800GT OEM, in tha uk and payed 260 quid for it. Thats 500$ but bear in mind...

    BH-5 holding me back?

    It is high but not unheard of, for serius Mhz you need to up the voltage quite a bit, especialy in these modules.

    DVD Burners

    16x is as much as we are going to see fromthe current tech. Already at 16x the disk is spinning in excess of 10K rpm / minute and its the physical limit of the machinery included. so dont expect to see anything faster than this. And do not confuse the 52x of a CD-r with the 16x of a DVD...

    neo4 diamond or a8n-SLI for overclocking?

    This board compared to tha Asus and Gigabyte has also another problem (not for all peeps of course but a one for those wanting to use SLI) that is that the distance between the two pci-e ports is very small and there is a chance that the secondary card (the one closer to the cpu) will overheat...
