Ok.. I wanna know what to expect. I am putting it in the case tonight, but I gotta get a PSU first, which I also need recommendations for..
Asus A7M266-D
(2) AMD Athlon MP 1800+
(2) Swiftech MCX462 HSF Units (I don't recall fan specs, but it's huge)
256MB PC2700 DDR RAM - Corsair
Asus V8200 Deluxe
Lite-On 32x12x40x CD-RW
Lite-On 16X DVD-ROM
Lite-On 52X CD-ROM
IBM 60GB 7200 RPM HD
3Com 10/100 NIC
Firewire Card
USB 2.0 expansion card that came with the motherboard
I wanna know, since I have not booted it up at all, what kind of issues may arise when I overclock it. I won an XP 1800+ and and MSI K7T266 Pro from AMD at the XPP tour, and I was able to overclock that XP chip to 1601 Mhz. Not much, all I did was boost the FSB. That's why I opted for 1800's, instead of 2000's for my new chips. I want to know what kind of increase I may see out of MP's. I have not seen any overclocking reviews for MP's, let alone overclocking reviews for dual MP's.
Where do you see my bottleneck as being? On my machine at home, 1601 was my limit, I believe due to RAM, it was generic PC2100.
Any hardware issues I may need to know about with this current setup?
I will be running it with on-board sound. Yea, I know, but I have not found the right soundcard yet.
And, what kind of 3DMark scores will I be seeing?
