Im speccing up a rig to use for 3d graphics, photoshop, illustrator, autocad, maya and BOINC / folding aswell as a remote fileserver.

What id like to know is if i buy 2 of the cheapest xeons and the intel skulltrail board, how feasable is overclocking ?

Id run tuniq tower 120's on both (if they fit) and would only really need 3ghz each.

FBDimms are the same sort of price as DDR2 atm (strange that ocuk dont sell them though) and id be looking to run 8gb or so in matched pairs (4x2) on xp 64.

P.S how would a rig such as that with an 8800GTX fair for both rendering and encoding and gaming ?

The 8800GTX i had (bfg) had a tickbox for "professional mode" in its drivers...

Thanks!
 
oh and will the mac ram ocuk sell work ? as its 667mhz FBDIM ECC which the skulltrail board is compatible with ? not sure if it will OC well though, would cool ram heatsinks with fans.
 
old post, but bump anyway.

I have money to spend and want the power... can anyone answer my questions please ?
