...by spending my money
I've got some of that there Corsair DDR2 (4 gigs) on pre-order with ebuyer and so.. I guess i'd better get with the program and jump ship. Recommendations for a conroe newb? Here's my requirements:
Memory - sorted - Corsair 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300/5400 (667/675MHz)CL4 with Heat Spreader (2 of these - so 4 GIG in total)
CPU
---------------------
- i'm going to overclock, and on water too. What's my best bang for buck? Is 4mb cache preferable to 2?
--------------------------
Waterblock
-------------------------
- 10mm pushfits to go with my asetek gear - recommendations on a new wb for the cpu? I was probably going to go with a new antartica cpu block (asetek).
--------------------------
Motherboard:
---------------------------------
- tricky this one. I'm running RAID 0 on nVRAID right now so i _guess_ an nVidia chipset would make life easier - but i can transfer easily enough to a new RAID set as i've got a massive backup drive.
Am I best of with an intel chipset or a 680i (or whatever) job? Pros/Cons?
What's best for overclocking?
The RAM will probably do at least 800mhz, perhaps clear 1000mhz so?
Should I worry about quad core support?
I'll probably watercool the chipset (meh, why not?) too.
------------------------------------
My thanks as always for your valuable advice
