I have about $1000 to spend, and I've decided on many of the components. I'm kinda debating what to do about the motherboard and memory. I'm going the p4 route, so I guess i have 3 main choices...845E, 850E, or the sis648 (which isn't out quite yet if i'm not mistaken). I have a few questions though. I'm looking to overclock a 1.8A to roughly 2.2-2.4.

Which of the following would best suite me?

Asus P4T533 w/ 256mb of RIMM 4200 (does this motherboard limit my overclocking capabilities?)

Gigabyte GA-8IEXP w/ 512mb of OCZ ddr366. (I've read that people get this ram to over 400, so i was thinking it would be a good deal for overclocking)

ABIT Model SR7-8X w/ the same DDR as the 845E mobo

Secondly, would it be wise to take the Turtle Beach over an audigy?
 
I would say take the Gigabyte. i've used it in several computers and they are FAST. But why OCZ, gram some smasung istead. And yes you should take the Tutle beach over the Audigy if price is important.
 
I would go with the Gigabyte and DDR memory instead of RDRAM.


I like Audigy cards personally, and have never had a problem with them... I would take that route.
