Any Advice Would Be Helpful

[SebringMX10]

I am in the process of putting together a new system. It will be comprised of an Asus P4P800 Deluxe, P4 2.6C with DangerDen TBX, 370 gph pump, auto heater core in Koolatron cooled water bath, two raptor 74gig drives on raid, ATI 9600/256 video, and 1024 megs of ddr500. My Question is, what do you thing it should be able to overclock to with stability?

dont bother getting the 9600 with 256mb of ram. its called marketing. 256 doesnt mean high end. it only benefits high end cards right now. you'll be better off getting radeon 9600 pro 128mb. as for everything else, it looks good. i think you should be able to hit 3.4-3.6 easily with your setup, as long as you know how to properly overclock and such.

My old system is a celeron 1200 running very stable at 1600 on noisy air, have been overclocking since the day of the 300A so have a good working knowledge of the job at hand and thnx for the advice on the video card but the price was right, a used birthday gift that is. want an x800 but will wait till I have it up, running and stable first.

Dont buy the second harddrive and spend the money on a 6800GT.
