Hi all,

Hope this doesnt get too complicated

1. On these forums I put together a p4 2.4 system with an Asus P4S8X and 512 Corsair xms 2700 ram. The computer is stable, and ok. But just ok. NOthing special.
2. Months ago, before I had any clue about ram, I bought 512 mg (2x256) RDRAM that is specific for an Asus p4t533.... 1066, 242 pin.

My question:

The p4 setup I have is ok. But just ok. The board seems to be locked at 24 multiplier so I can only run it at most a 110 fsb stable. Just not thrilled.

Should I:

1. Just be happy and sell the RDRAM I bought. (If I can)
2. Replace the motherboard with a new one (Really do not want to go crazy on price) and use the same Corsair Ram I have.
3. Replace the motherboard I have with an Asus p4t533 (I am sure I can find one) and use the RDRAM that I purchased. Will this be a much better setup?

Am open to any of these options. Really wondering if I will get great improvement on my setup now.

Thanks, Leigh
