currently running a t/bred xp2000 o/c to 2.08GHz and a Crucial ddr333 512MB
stick on an abit NF7. whats a good upgrade? will dual ram make a difference
with a fast barton cpu? gonna get ddr400 ram anyway.

Sounds good so far.
Which NF7?
Ram, Kingmax seems nice for overclocking.
I've read on here a few times, but you may not have a problem, that is
with the "barton core"
Then again, I use both Intel chips & AMD chips.
I have (DDR333) running @ 404 running 202..

Please note, faster memory don't always mean better gaming, unless it's
Video Memory.
I like my AMD Over my P4 for gaming, even with the slower speed. Something
just seems better
on my AMD.

Performance Tips
Notice 5406 : System bandwidth appears memory limited. Attempt to use
higher-performance memory.

Thinking that I have faster memory then I do have.
I think that's what makes Sandra give this message.

Anyways, Your looking very good, go for it.
Denny. :-) The U.S.A. is new, compared to other parts of the word, & our
law system is new in a way too.
Getting it right, won't be over night, nor will the laws change fast
either. :-)
