To go farther on this I think I'll have to dig into CPU architectural differences between the Athlon, Athlon XP, and new Athlon 64 cores versus the Pentium 4. Because of the architecture of the Pentium 4 vs the Athlon, the Pentium 4 spends a lot more time waiting for data to be read from and written to main memory than the Athlon. This makes it more dependant on the FSB. I know you guys would probably never forgive me if I left it at that, so I think I'll probably just start a new thread and repost what I've got here and expand on it. I think if I keep going here I'll REALLY be hijacking this thread.

Hi mister Mrblack, i run a ASetek wapochil, and a AMD BARTONis it a 2800 + clocked on the needs i have, well i can puch it around 3.2 Ghz or up , all the rest is coled be ASetek Waterchil, well for me the big problem is the DDR3500 2 x 512 CORsair , they owerheat to much i thing, i have a home made big pasive colers glued on the RAM, surface, i removed the originals plates , and glued the new one , also have to use a Voltage modifications on my ASUS deluxe board i have the REV 2 , discovered that even using onboard Sound card on Nvidia chips set, giving trouble, after instaling Audigy , stable, beter, using the ATI 9700 PRo what i bought last Xmas thx to the Scuzy sugestion cose i was ready to buy a MATROX parhelia, at November last year but got a nice tip from Skuzy,

IF u run a real high end all the CRAP around super uber PSU 550 W and up + all voltage mods + ram coling + Chip set coling to get the thing roling fine , for me it was a litle chalange but now it works fine, waiting for the AMD 64 FX 51 to show up if price go around 600 EURO i em a buyer and i again ask do u people have problem coling rams ? cose i have and big time

Ya Ram seems to be the limiting factor in our setups thats for sure.

We have the heat issue taken care of You might try some Mushkin pc3500 2x256 it is the BH-5 chips and I am having good luck with it.

Can get 315 FSB but for stability i run 300FSB.
