best X2 4800+ overclock?

[subzero813]

and what would be the best motherboards that can handle a socket 939 X2 and hit really high FSB speeds (i have some high speed PC3700 memory).

DFI boards would be great.

ya DFI

DFI but BUT be very carefull what memory you use and PSU,,,,

The dfi is a great board. I have it and it can hit some very high Htts.

if you are buying soon then hold off for the new DFI expert .. this is going to have quite a few improvements over the current SLI-DR, and it now has a 4 phase PWM

i am looking to get this board when it comes out

I heard that the board was like 200 dollars. Very expensive .

really, i wonder how much it will cost in the UK .. and the damn thing was supposed to be released a month ago and still no sign of it :|

I think its cause DFI decided it wanted the ULI southbridge instead of the ATI southbridge, casue ATI's southbridges were very buggy

DFI's official press release

XS discussion thread, with pretty much all of the known info in it

EDIT: DFI Street thread also

that sounds great, i'll wait for that.

i want to carry over my current ram. its gigram PC3700 DDR466, and it has 2-3-2-5 timings at the 233mhz FSB. so i was hoping i could run that at its native speed, and have the cpu overclocked as a result. i'm a n00b to all this HTT talk though, what would i have to do to compensate for it?

BTW, am i right in assuming the X2 4800+ is the last socket939 x2? and the 5000+ will be Socket M? i wanted to keep my ram so i figured i'd just buy a 4800+ on the 939, and oc it.
