That's one of the reasons i'm with AMD right now, good for people who want a niceprocessor, on a tight budget.

You already know the NV40 will be better than the R420?

What kinda cooling? Vcore? Nice overclock and system, BTW!
Swiftech MCX4000 with a vantec tornado for cpu cooling, Swiftech cooling on northbridge as well, forget the model number.
1.59v actual on vcore (1.60v setting)

That's pimp, my 2.6 only does 3.2 ..... I am thinking of replacing the cheapo Turbolink 350 Watts PS
I was just going to tell you about the NV40/R420 but you answered my question.
Nice and smart purchases..
BTW I have the plextor 708a. Is this the model or it burns only +r ?
Well even in this case it's a smart buy, cauz +r is the way to go nowdays..
Enjoy... :beer:

it is the 708b, exact same thing, only black bezel.
i honestly dont use the dvd at all except to make regular backups on a RW.
Its pushing the limits of my current Antec 400w at this OC. So i would think its safe to say that the turbolink could be holding you back.
I had to adjust the pots to get the rails stable at load on the 400w.

Wellonce i get some dough and decide to go along with the purchase I'll let you know if it made a difference. Thanks for the suggestion. What made you get the 2.6C instead of the 2.8C considering they almost cost the same and the 2.8 has 200mhz more headroom? Also what mobo u got?
Asus P4C800-E is the mobo
I chose the 2.6C for a more reasonable OC as the current steppings of P4s generally top out between 3.4 and 3.7ghz on air cooling, and i wanted to run the memory at its fully rated PC4200 speed on a 1:1 ratio. A 2.8C may have made achieving an OC of 3725mhz on the same FSB a stretch in both PSU and the CPU core itself. (although an M0 step 2.8 can do this speed). I was also unaware that the M0 chips were only available in 2.4C and 2.8C models before ordering, i was hoping for an M0 2.6
