hi
palnning to buy a p42.66 533 cpu
also get the new granit bay mobo
with 1gb of pc2700 or pc 2100

any suggestion of a brand/model for memory for the new granit bay mobo?

anyone know how high of an OC i can get on this cpu (and i think 2.66 is already c1 stepped) with aircooled??

any recommendation of a good heatsink and fan?

thanks

 
id get pc2700 ram atleast
samsung, corsair, mushkin, crucial, micron (i think its still pretty good right?)
they are all good brands (corsair ive seen has the most consistent overclocks at high fsb's)

probably 3.0ghz easily if its a C1 stepping (im pretty sure all of the 2.66 are C1 steppings....at least on http://processorfinder.intel.com/scripts/list.asp?ProcFam=483&CorSpd=ALL&SysBusSpd=ALL&PkgType=ALL it says they are)

heatsink:
swiftech mcx4000
alpha pal8942
swiftech mcx478
all are good heatsinks (but expensive kindof)
pair them up with any 30+cfm fan (at least, i would get like 50cfm+ but thats just me)
