1.8a OCed, the best setup

[Dolemite1]

Hi Guys just a quick few questions. Am looking at my best combo here. Want to Oc a 1.8a to at least 2.4, which is my best Mobo the 8iexp, or the P4B533E. Or should I go with "g" Mobo. I want to use DDR preferably pc2700 or better if you suggest (will both utilize it). Also don't hold back on other suggestions. I Just don't want to purchase everything then find out I messed up.

Important details:
Want to use 1.8a to OC
want to use probably a gainward 4600ti
Want to go the DDR route
Don't mind (actually trying to take advantage of) Overclocking
Will be mostly used for gaming.
Don't mind spending to much on ram but don't want to be to far ahead of the curve.

In Sum
Which Mobo, what speed ram?

Thx In adavance

I would get the asus mobo...you only need a 3:4 mem ratio...If you get this thing to 150fsb or 2.7ghz (which would be a extremely good oc for this chip) you would have pc3200 level or 400mhz ddr...


My epox 4bda mobo was quite a nice ocer for my 1.8 that hit 2.628ghz and 387mhz ddr (pc3100 levels)....

The g models should be not that much different then the e models like the asus p4b533 except it has the onboard video that you are not likley to use anyways...
