    Finally got myself the MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum.
    A64 (90nm) 3500+
    1GB PQI turbo 2-2-5-2
    Had a little play around with it so far and managed this stable with 3xHT and stock voltages on ram/cpu with 2.5-3-9-3 timings, I didn't try tightening them yet either but here are the results so far - primed for a few hrs so I'm not sure of how stable it is but it hasn't bombed on me yet!

    I got the ram from www.pc-memory-upgrade.co.uk -- they just got gskill in if anyone is interested. Words of praise for them here: Great bunch, they rung me to answer questions I had about the ram, checked the modules and made sure I was happy with what I was getting before they sent it out to me -- top notch service, big thanks to Jakob there for looking after me. Highly recommended if you're buying ram. Ordered Monday - received Wednesday early afternoon.

    Really happy I decided to upgrade and stop my XP chip/mobo holding back my card which is now a lot happier.

    This is with the stock amd hsf -- I'm very frustrated and eyeballing the Asus Star Ice which I planned on using to cool the cpu but I don't seem to be able to get it mounted on this board :(
    It's collecting dust atm..

    6800GT dubdvd. I had the ram at 280fsb at one point giving me 7300ish membench scores in sandra. I corrupted my main profile in win2k like an eejit though, pushing 295fsb -- the one time I didn't use my 2nd profile for oc'ing! grrr :(

    Settled for that overclock for now since it's prime stable, going to have another tinker over the weekend :)
