    budget socket 775 mATX that can overclock well?

    does such a beast exist? ive been looking at the GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2L, but im seeing mixed reports on its ability to oc. are there any other boards out there that are cheap and can overclock a e7200 well? i seem to remember a last gen asus that was good, but i cant find one for sale.

    budget gaming cpu: e7200, e5200, amd 9600b or something else?

    thanks for the replies everyone. looks like ill probably go the e7200 route as frys has it for 109 right now, which isnt that much more than the e5200. I already have a video card on the way, i got in on one of those 9600gso's for 36AR, so ill use that at least for a little while. might upgrade...

    hey guys, i know you get questions like this alot but ive been having trouble finding good comparisons between the cpu's after they have been overclocked, which is something i will be doing. both the e5200 and 7200 seem like good choices, and the 9600 b interests me aswell since it is a quad...

    x800 SE??? anyhow available for $315 @ the egg

    this is the model that dell has available ob their desktop line. it, like other ati cards with the SE added to their name, is significantly worse than its non se brothers. i think people were able to hit aroun 8000 in 3dmark 2003 with it and some minor overclocking. Hmmm i cant remember anything...
