Well, I was going to go with an A64 3000+ in an Asus K8V Deluxe, but I found out it can't overclock very well. So I'm thinking maybe an Abit IC7-Max2 with a P3.0C.

Ok, thanks. What type of ram should I get? It seems most people use PC3200. I'm going to be doing some heavy overclocking so I will need something good.

Dang, that means I'm gonna have to wait another two months before I can get my computer setup up :(. Oh well, how valueable is pc133 anyway? Just a Centon 256Mb PC133 SDRAM with 3 3 3 6 timings.

I'm wondering if my old pc133 256mb ram would work on most of the newer boards. That way I can spend more money on getting a better cpu and board and then just wait untill I have enough money to buy new ram.

I have been thinking about getting this board with an A64 3000+. I have heard many good things about the A64 and need a motherboard to go with it.

Ok thanks, would my choice of motherboard be a good one? And do you know if the zalman heatsink is good too?

After a month or so of learning about all this stuff I have narrowed my choices down to these: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (with a Zalman CNPS7000A) Asus K8V Deluxe or Intel Pentium 4 3.0C (with a Zalman CNPS7000A) Abit IC7 Max2 This system will go into my ThermalTake Xaser III V2420 Aluminum case...

Im in the process of building a new computer. It will mainly be for gaming. I have been having trouble deciding on which cpu and motherboard to get. So far I have been looking at the P4 3.0c with the Abit IC7-MAX3. But I may decide to go with amd as they are a bit cheaper. So, what is an amd...
