This is what I posted on [H]ard Forums, I decided to stay with my current X-2 3800 and just use the parts I already had to build this sys. I had to use some of the parts I was saving for when I get an Intel Quad core sys.
But I still have the potential to pull this X-2 3800 up and over the 3 GHz mark
Well I'm all back together now and am currently running strong at 2.6GHz, I can't really go much higher than this due to my memory being so slow. Once I get a new set of DDR chips in here thats able to push me over the edge I can see this sys pushing this X-2 3800+ over the 3GHz range. Hell, I'm already in the 9k range in 3DMark06 and it can only get better from here.
Current Sys Specs:
1 AMD X-2 3800+ Manchester BH-E4 (2.6GHz Water Cooled)
1 Coolit Freezone CPU cooler
2 G-Skill (1gbx2) 2-3-3-5 333Mhz Memory
1 LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR (not the Expert like I had hopped I had)
2 EVGA 7900 GT KO Superclocked vid cards in Sli (630/1550)
2 10k Raptor 74GB HDD in Raid 0
1 7.2k 750GB HDD in Raid 1
1 1600W Ultra X-Connect X-3 PSU
1 Thermaltake Armour (Black) Case
1 Samsung DVD/DVDR
The only things I crossed over to the new sys were the CPU, Ram, vid cards, and DVD Drive, everything else I was saving for when I build a 45nm quad Intel system when they come out. Now I just need to tweek this just a little bit more, if I'm able to hit the 3+ GHz range I'll be happy.
