Hi there!

I am considering upgrading my internal system, and have come to the following combo:
Ati 1900 XT 512
AMD Venice 3500+
Asus A8N-E -OR- Abit KN8 Ultra

I already have a matched pair of GEiL 512MB PC3200 modules, harddisk, etc, etc....
Because I am perfectly happy with my 19" 4ms TFT (930BF), I see no need to use SLI.
(I keep a VisionMasterPro 451 on the side for Photoshop)
The entire set will be watercooled (Waterchill KT12-L30)

Now for my question:
I noticed that the FX3500+ can keep up a 2GHz HyperTransport and that both boards are only 1GHz

Will I notice the difference?
Will I notice it after upgrading to Dual-Core?


Are there any 2GHz boards out there that have decent cooling on their CPU Voltage Regulators (w.r.t. catercooling)?

Trinitron64 is correct. They are one and the same.
