Thanks. I was thinking of getting him a Barton 2500 and overclocking it some but am concerned that the memory I have won't do much even though I've heard it'll do over 200fsb. The memory is a 512mb pc2700 stick of Winbond bh-6 chips. Would I be fine using this or should I consider something else. Even if it doesn't overclock much, I think he'll be happy with the speed. Any suggestions?
