This is absolutely.... epic!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131045 that's the board I'd personally suggest, great overclocker and ample features.

7950GX2 works in almost all of the more current non-SLI motherboards out of the box, most of the other boards support it with a mere BIOS flash, the SLI, so to speak, of the single 7950GX2 is all integrated on the card itself, and you only need one PCI-E power connector for one 7950GX2. I...

yes, it will be, as much as any motherboard at this point in time, as I mentioned, there are hacked SLI drivers for intel chipsets like that motherboard, current SLI offerings for Core 2 Duo are most likely incorporated using "upgraded" versions of nforce 4 SLI chipsets, which aren't very good...

No, don't get the P5NSLI, besides the problems I had for it not supporting SLI, it's a horrible motherboard for overclocking, at least, again, with my setup, all I've seen is problems trying to run it at anything but stock with one card. I'd suggest this motherboard, it's been found by everyone...

Hah, yeah, your ram should be alright, OCZ is a nice company for overclocking, my impression was the amount of ram doesn't have an impact on overclocking, just the timings and characteristics of that particular brand, I had 2x512 OCZ platinum in my opteron 165 rig and overclocked to 3 ghz with...

yes, if you have a good stepping, I don't know about your particular bios, so I wouldn't be quick to suggest anything, usually you find Jumperfree configuration, switch the FSB setting, normally the first option to manual, and it'd probably be set at 200 by default, increase in increments of 5...

the ram is fine, I'd say, the amount of that doesn't have as large an impact as an upgrade to another component might be, I'd say the best upgrade for you, even in a gaming aspect is getting a dual core processor, I'd say an opteron 165. I don't know if you overclock alot, but either way it's...

newegg isn't generally the cheapest, they can provide the best value, by way of having such a wide selection, but pricetag for pricetag on mainstream items like say, a 7 series graphics card, newegg is usually acouple dollars more.

realistically, probably not much by most standards, it's a 400 mhz increase at stock, but in overclocking, with a board capable of decent multipliers, it might be worth it when overclocking, to be able to OC while keeping from affecting your other components, mainly ram. I have to say, that is...

I ordered this PSU for a build, I was just wondering, if you guys think it will be able to power this build: CPU: Opteron 165 GPU: two eVGA 7900GTX EGS in SLI HDD: one 80 gig, 7200RPM WD drive Optical Drives: one or two Sound: Sound Blaster Audigy2 and a few case fans? Anyone running one of...

Well, I wouldn't suggest that motherboard unless you're going to go SLI, which a 7950GX2 basically is anyhow, if you go with a regular motherboard, that opens up alot more options, DS3 is nice, heard alot of good things about the ASUS P5W64 WS Professional...

that isn't the point here, we're talking stock figures here.

That doesn't make sense at all, in that case now is as good a time as any, I can say from experience, having spent more than that, I haven't regretted it in the least.
