I am.

And it is extremely hardcore aircooling. It's about as effective and dangerous as it gets really.. my c/w competes with most standard WC setups.

Hopefully i will be ordering my new case, motherboard and gfx card tomorrow. Most likely from tekheads, i will have to check out the difference in postage first though.

Overclocking is easy if you have one of the new boards like the Abit NF7-S. Just got to know what the options are so you know what you are actually changing.

No it isnt but if DDR400 was faster than running memory insync then the scores would be higher.

I may change my CPU FSB to 200 and then put the multiplier to 10.5 so that my XP2800 still stays the same sort of mhz but with a higher fsb rather than a higher multiplier. Then I can run the RAM at 400 and see the difference hopefully.

Heh, your 1700 is running faster than the 2600 in this comp.

What kind of cooling you using?

Water cooling, or even phase change?
