I'm gonna upgrade within the next month. I need some ideas on what board and cpu to buy that won't break me. I'm not looking for strictly the cheapest but more for the best bang for my buck. I've already decided on an AMD chip but I'm undecided from there on. Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

As far as chip the best value for overclock right now has got to be the 1GHZ 200Mhz. If you get the AXIA code you have a very good chance of hitting 1.4GHz with good air cooling.

As far as motherboards the three best in my opinion are probably the Iwill KK266,Asus A7V133,Abit Kt7A. The Kt7a may have a 1% memory advantage but you pay for that with stability. Abits quality control could use a little work.

If you want to run raid get the "r" versions of the Kt7A and KK266.

Hope that is helpful.

There is a very useful overclockers database at this site.
