About fsb youre right. Im getting a 800Mhz P4 CPU and im going to overclock it to 1000Mhz fsb or even more if i can. That requires good 500Mhz memories though. I'll go for 1Gb at first. 2 proccessor system i cannot afford, thatswhy i go for hyperthreading. About video cards. I found a test (i cant find the link anymore, damn) where it showed that in real life OGL applications (3dsMax, LightWave etc.) even GF FX 5600Ultra is 6-7 times faster than Radeon 9800Pro. Gaming is a different story though ;) Hard drives, i think 120Gb SATA Barracuda V with 8Mb cache can take the situation. The system i plan right now has the following components: Intel Pentium 4 2,60 GHz HT Abit IC7, Intel i875PE chipset 2 x Adata DDRAM PC-4000 500MHz 512MB CL 2,5 (excellent overclockers ;) GeforceFX 5600Ultra Memories are going to run in dual-mode. The fsb that quite a many people have got using similar components are 1100Mhz, some even more. So i should have a P4 3.6Ghz system with fast memories running on dual-mode. Other components i will buy later, my budget is also limited you know ;) Later i plan to upgrade the amount of memory, a new case and a better hard drive. Since my mind is quite made up for now i thank everybody for their attention. Comments are welcome though.
