that looks pretty good.. thanks

what kinda overclocking capabilities would they give me.

also ive read about some trouble with vista and 4gb ram... whats the scores on that?
 
In theory if you get a good chip you could reach 3.6ghz without running the Ram out of specification (9x400mhz), however I'd suggest 3ghz as a more realistic target and take anything beyond that as a bonus.

Vista having problems with 4gb Ram? Not sure about that, do you have any links?
 
i cant find any... but i did see it...
oh well.
microsoft have just released sp1 for vista so hopefully that will solve a lot of the problems anyway.
