I want to buy a new processor and mobo, and im pretty sure ill buy the D 805 (and try to do my first overclock) with it to reach 3.2 or 3.3 Ghz (nothing much with this cpu, as most of the stuff i read confirmed).
Anyway, i need to buy a cheap motherboard and Asrock 4CoreDual seemed to suit me since i have an agp graphics display and im low on $.
(I can try to reach for a maximum 3.6-3.8 with proper ventilation, but need to know if the board will let me do it)
Pentium D 805 here
Check the 4CoreDual mobo here
1)Do you know if the OC will run smooth with this board? [PLZ Help]
2)Since the CPU's FSB runs at only 533Mhz and the board can use DDR 2 (667 and 533 MHz), should i buy a 533 or a 667 Mhz DIMM's?
i know there's probably not much difference, but this is for OC proposes, wich im not familiar with.. does it really make a difference using one instead of another in this case?
If you know another cheap mobo or (CPU+mobo) combo you would like to suggest, feel free to do it. Thx
