Firstly a big hello to all on the OC Forums and secondly would be good if I could get some opinions as to my proposed upgrade.
What I have a prersent.

P4 540 @ 3.8
AW8MAX
2xSamsung PC4200 512mb
2xCrucial Pc4200 512mb
2x Seagate 160gb in Raid 0
Enermax 600w sli,xfire approved PSU
Connect 3D X1900XTX away with OC under Rma at present 2nd One!!
Asetek twin 120mm w/c cooling Cpu only
2x nec DVD Rewriters
T/Take Tsunami case
Etc

What I have pre-ordered from OC
1 x 2gb Corsair XMS2 6400c4
1 xE6600 Duo Core

Mobo I am waiting for is the Abit AW9D max

I am then proposing to swap over everything else and because of being on water I am hoping to get a 3.2Ghz overclock does this seem realistic and would anyone change the ram or mobo.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, I guess that would be the Hz Pc6400 DDR2, could you explain why? because they both appear to be the same spec's and I have heard that Corsair has the best reputation or is it based on cost? Also from the post on the forum regarding achievable clock speeds this should be no problem for either to hit 3.2Ghz. :confused:

The HZ is the same stuff they use on there 8000 RAM as far as I'm aware (it certainly clocks that far and more).
