I just joined up from Tucson Arizona. I'm in the process of putting together a new system based on the ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard with an XP 2500+ (Barton). Being on a budget, I splurged on the motherboard a little so I can upgrade a little as I can later and I got a pair of 256MB DDR400 memory sticks to go along that will support some overclocking over the stock speed of the CPU. I also ended up getting an ASUS ATI 9600SE/TD graphics card. I'm cobbling a system together based on my old PIII/500 system while upgrading my daughters even slower system. I can slide the hard disk, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, monitor, etc. into the new machine and swap a couple things out of her old machine to end up with two machines for only about $450..... I'm not going to overclock the new machine right away, but I'm thinking about the possibilities (having never OC'd before).... Hopefully this forum will help.

Jim.

sup jim. your system sounds cool! I love the A7N8X-E Deluxe mobo.... mmmmm nice mobo. I have a buddy running it. Good luck with your systems and just post something if you have a question... I am up to 4 oc'd machines now so I think I am getting the hang of it

Thanks! I really loved all the features in the A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard. Can't wait to get the last box of parts from Newegg so I can start turning screws! Having never OC'd before, I'm not sure exactly what to do. It would be great to find a good cookbook for overclocking. But first, I just want to see my new beastie chugging along at stock speeds for awhile.

Jim.

I'm from San Diego, California. I found this forum through about.com while researching info about hardware. I'm a total noob at OC'ing and hope to learn a thing or two from this group. I also like the fact that it's so new. I wish you guys the best of luck with this forum, I know I'll be checking in and posting more.
