Newegg - XP4

I'm really thinking of getting the XP4 (not -G) to use as a file server and LAN Party server. Maybe someday as something else... I found you can overclock these systems. What's the lowest memory I could get for this machine. I'm thinking 2700DDR will comply with the 266 or should I go 3200 for some overclocking?

ouch, are there any other small factor boards that support pc3200? the pc2700 may hinder your OC quite a bit

The price for this one is $165 shipped. The next step up that supports the 333/266 is $205. It does offer a newer chipset and an AGP upgrade slot, the other one only has a PCI. However the PCI might be a better choice for upgrades...you can add anything to a PCI, but only a video card to AGP!

I read that someone in the small form fourms overclock a celeron 2.0 to almost 3ghz with no volt increase (mb doesn't support). And got higher with a hard wire vlt increase.
