Athlon Mobile 2600+ questons...

[Shortass]

I plan on getting the Athlon 2600+ Mobile and I want to overclock as far as I can go with air cooling.

- If I want to make my FSB 220MHz, how high could I make it go with the NF7-S motherboard?

- Which is better, increasing the FSB or the multiplier?

- What is the best speed of RAM I should get? I've heard pc3200, pc3500, pc3700, and pc4000, and i'd rather not try out all 4.

- Is the NF7-S motherboard better or worse than the Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe?

Got the dual nics on the ASUS but I doubt you would use them. Another to consider is the Albatron which is quite nice...tough to go wrong with anyof them. Could I recomment going with a 3000+ A64. Even with the stock heatsink I am 2.4 to 2.45 gig and it SMOKES all the XP systems I had. Most running 2.4ish as well...big difference that the benchmarks don't show. I also have SATA raid which I am sure helps as well.
