I had recently bought an opty 170 to replace the athlon 64 3500 in my setup.
I was running on an msi k8n neo4 platinum and 4 x 512mb corsair 3200xlpro ram. no matter what I did I couldn't get the opty to boot into windows above 250 x 10. I knew there must be more in the cpu and ram, so I splashed out on an asus a8n sli premium. the difference is outstanding. straight away I can run 270 x 10 rock solid. I haven't tried any further yet, but I'm confident I can get more
on another plus there is no northbridge fan on the a8n sli premium, so the rig is much quieter too
