What side effects I'm I likely to run into o/c a 1.6a?
I've been hijacked to upgrade from a friends PIII-500. I've decided on a 1.6a and either an Asus or Abit motherboard.
An Antec SX635 case. Arctic Silver II, stock retail HSF
Hoping to hit that magic 2.4 GHz
Recycling Gforce3 TI-500, Win98SE and hard drive.
He's on a really tight budget so every dollar counts. He also needs to spend the $$$ now before his wife gives birth.
If I get sound on the motherboard, will that hit me with a noticable performance hit? Does onboard sound o/c ok?
If not that route does a $35 sblive 5.1 mind being o/c?
How about NICs? Anyone see NIC having probs?
Whats the gaming performance between 2.5CAS memory and 2CAS memory other than 30-50% price increase?
I'd hate to have him spend $190 on Corsair 512M CAS 2 memory and find out my parts wont let me O/C or that $130 Samsung 512M CAS2.5 is only 5% slower....
What sound cards, NIC's, and CAS memory is everyone using to hit 2.4 GHZ?
Thanks!
