Dear friends,
I have just got a Asus A7V266-E and Athlon XP 1800.
I haven´t set it up yet and would like to ask some questions:
- Should I get a big case or some especial case for it (I have a mini ATX case already) ?
- I got a Ascent CPU Heatsink and cooler. Is it enough if I don´t overclock the system ?
- Is there any easy overlock I can do without worries ?
- Should I left everthing under the Free Jumper mode ?
- Do you have any recommendations before setting it up ?
Thanks for the help.

1) You should get at least a mid size case, to allow for better air circulation
2) The ascent CPU heatsink should be adequate at default temperatures, although if stuck in a mATX case, you could be in real trouble.
3) Upping the FSB would be about as worry freee as your going to get.
4) Yes! leave it under jumper free!
5) Hmm.... recommendations... not really...
