Good day, I have an athlon thunderbird 1.2ghz processor and I'm looking forward to overclocking it. My plans are to buy a new motherboard that supports raising the core voltage, fsb or even the multiplier. I have looked at some stores selling motherboard for socketA(462) processors and found out that those new motherboards mostly have fsb of 400 mhz and supporting memory modules upto pc333-400mhz. Also with 8x agp slot. My question is, if I were to buy this kind motherboard with a specified FSB of let's say upto 400+mhz and I equiped it with let's say, PC333 DDR, and if I were to put an 8x video card to it, given that my processor can only run as much as 1.33 ghz(but only when overclocked), will I be able to gain anything with it? Or should I just stick to an old mobo with 4x agp and fsb of 133? Thanks a lot. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
