Amish i heard good things about Abits NF-7 v 2 overclocking abilities...

 

[bjc112]

i guess those 2x 521 meg sticks just came out also...

I would go with 3200 just incase, you can really ramp that clock speed up...

Add 512MB sticks of Kingston ValueRam PC2700 to that too. I have personal experience there. :|

Save 10 bucks and get a cheaper floppy is what I would do

I've never seen a cheaper floppy.

I've heard about problems with the Crucial RAM and Nforce2 boards, but I've built 2 with Crucial RAM and not had a problem...

Best setup i've seen in quite a while Amish. Well Done
Oh and regarding the floppy, Sony is within $2 of all other manufacturers.

One more thing: I don't like WD, flimsy construction. I say Maxtor or Seagate!

I may be mistaken...but I think the instability with Crucial RAM was only with the PC2700 512MB flavor.

It has been mentioned before, but go with PC3200. I just built a system with Corsair XMS PC3200 for 107 from newegg (first time drifting from crucial - price difference was only $8 at the time between the corsair and the crucial PC3200 ($99)). I'd highly recommend these. Nothing better than a 200 MHz FSB.

Edit: Why not go with a Thermalright SK-7 heatsink and either a L1A or H1A panaflo?

Thermalright isn't on the recommended list from AMD.

Hmmm... That's gonna suck if I have a RAM problem. I haven't used PC2700 512mb sticks. Just 256mb. Unfortunatley, iIt's already been ordered. Good thing Crucial is such a good vendor!
