I am itching to buy an XP 1900+ with the 8k5a3+ because of the 10 total devices that can be hooked to the ata controllers and i heard it is a good overclocker.

Isn't it right that this board will take the 1900 up to 200fsb stablily? (that is if I couple this with corsairs xms 3200ct memory modules?)

I have some more questions.

I am split in choosing water cooling from the innovatek kit found here or a regular air cooled heatsink like the alpha 8045.

I also want to hold off upgrading because i have a 1ghz t-bird with pc133 memory and it performs just fine for what i need. But I would like to have some system that is fast for my sister (who BTW is running a p2 400) and is probably on the edge on switching to a mac. (not as relavant to the scenerio)

then there is the clawhammer....

so what do you think?
