Here's what I have:
2.8Ghz 800fsb with sp-94 heatsink and a really loud fan :)
Msi neo2-fisr
(currently fried ram, but it has lifetime warrenty PC3200)
Raid scsi hard drives
Audigy 2
2001 FP LCD

The temperature of my processor isn't the bottleneck for overclocking my system; it's the ram. I know my system can reach 1Ghz FSB, but that would require some overclocking. With my mobo I can change the FSB in the bios. I would need PC 4000 to reach 1Ghz fsb w/o beating on the ram too hard wouldn't I? Or am I not understanding this right? Could someone suggest some ram that would best meet my needs? Cheaper the better btw.

Yes, you should have PC4000 to do it right, I suggest Crucial Ballistix.

Thanks for your suggestion Crashman. That stuff looks really good. Think I should go for 2 X 512? It looks a bit pricy. I guess I could fit it in the budget. I usually use pricewatch.com to compare prices and buy computer stuff. Anyone know of a good place to buy crucial ballistix at a relatively cheap price?

I'd prefer 2x512. I got mine directly from the Crucial store, <A HREF="http://www.crucial.com/ballistix" target="_new">http://www.crucial.com/ballistix</A>, of course I didn't have to pay for mine.

Some user called CrucialLabs put me in touch with the right people.

It's their PR dept. Who do you write for?

Thanks for all the help Crash. I think I'm gonna go with the ballistix. The only downside is the 300 dollar pricetag for the both 512's. Anyone find it anywhere other than www.crucial.com? PC4000 512 ballistix

I think Newegg has it as well.
