Hi - building my first PC. I got my early Christmas presents today from FedEx including an Iwill KA266 DDR mobo and a AMD 1.2G 266FSB CPU and 128M of PC1600 from Crucial.

My first question is what are the correct bus settings? Do I need to set the FSB to 200 in order to work correctly with the PC1600, or is it automatic? What about overclocking approaches to this combo until affordable PC2100 becomes available?

Second question - is there an Iwill dedicated newsgroup, web site, forum, etc that exists and is a good resource to tap into?

Looking forward to real PC'ing (I currently have a 400MHz Compaq - need I say more?),

Im not sure about the bus setting issue. Im planning on buying that mobo raid version as well. I just wanted to post to say that things could be worse with your current system. My system;
P133
32mb ram
4mb vcard
sb16
all on a brand spanking new 17 inch monitor! (the old one was a 13")
my new system;
factory unlocked 1.2 gig blue core thunder @ 266mhz
KA266-R
Radeon 64mb vivo
sb live platinum (maybe)
2 40 gig wd hdd
256mb pc2100

Should be a smoker me thinks. (not crack!)
