Hi All,

It's been a year since I haven't upgrade my comp :)
This is my rig that I want to build:
EPOX 8RDA+
Barton or Throughbred core.

The question is should I get Throughbred or Barton?
Maybe I will O/C later on and right now I have 2 stick Crucial PC2100 DDR and I want to use it.
How far I can O/C that RAM?
What a good heatsink and power supply?

My budget for the processor = max $200

stuff that I already have:
2 stick Crucial PC2100 DDR
GeForce4 Ti4600
2x200gig Western Digital 8mb buffer.
of course CD Writer.

Thanks.

t-bred 2400+- $120-$130
Antec case with truepower
Thermalright SLK-800-U. Bolt on...provided your mobo has mounting holes.
The A7N8X does
A nice 80 mm fan for it...panaflo or Antec

I dunno how far your RAM will clock...
