Hey guys,

I'm thinking of buying a tbird 750 and the abit KT7A-Raid..

And, of course I'm planning to overclock. Is there a difference between the green and the blue core? And if so, which is better? And how do I get the better of the two? Like if the blue is better, how do i get a blue core? Any ideas? I've read some places that it doesnt matter, then a few forums later, i hear blue is better than green. Anyone have an experience with one being better than the other? :)

Big dif.
Blue cores are copper, green are aluminum.
Copper/Blue overclock MUCH better.
