Stuck between these 3 choices. Which setup do you think I should go with? Each one is roughly the same price.


P4 2.26Ghz + P4T533C + 512MB PC800 Rambus

or

P4 2.26Ghz + P4-S533 + 768MB DDRAM PC333

or

P4 2.26Ghz + P4-B533 + 768MB DDRAM PC266


Or do you think setup # 1 with 512MB PC1066 will outperform them all? thanks.

Well...this is a good question for you? It all depends what you want to spend and how far you want to O/C. The #1 is a good choice if you want to spend the money and, if you do decide, go with the PC1066. Remember, the FSB on this board (150) is the max. This equals out to be 17x150=2.55Ghz.

On the other hand, The DDR boards seem the way to go...I hear they do very well at the o/c ing. Thugsrook and Duvie are quite the Guru's on this type of setup. They do a lot of testing with the DDR boards and know just about everything they do. I have a 2.53 w/PC1066 on a P4T533-C and it is stable at default voltage running at 19x150=2.85GHz.

So, My suggestion is, try to ask Thugsrook and/or Duvie in the CPU/Processors section on this subject. They will give you some good advice on which way to go. As for me I love my RIGS and I feel for what I do with them, I made a very good decision. When you decide, You will be happy, they all are good choices.
