Can I run ME and games on an UltraSCSI-160?

[Guest]

I have decided to give it me all and try out a VapoChill.
I now need a good mobo using the KT266 Chipset so I can
hook up 200/266 FSB. I need it to be rich in OverClocking
features for an Athlon @ 1.33Ghz. I wanna try for 2GHZ!!!
It has to be stable for 3 or 4 hours though.
I found one on www.msicomputer.com that has KT266.
Its called the MS-6380. But does it contain the same
features for OC'ing as the previous MS-6341 mentioned
in Tom's "Power Box" article? Plus, I cant find it or
the MS-6341 for sale anywhere. Where can I find these?
Does it matter if the DDRSDRAM is Unbuffered, non-parity
or ECC? I want CAS2 PC2100 for sure. About HDD's...
is SCSI-ULTRA-160 the fastest, or what? And is there any
OS or software problems that could arise from my choice
of SCSI over ATA100? Like could I run Millenium on SCSI?
Or just Win 2K. I guess I would REALLY LIKE TO SEE
"POWER BOX 2"!!!! When is that going to be written?

He who lets woman on top is FU<KING UP.

I dont think they have CL2 (I think it's 2.5, but I could be wrong) DDR out. But I could be wrong. Running SCSI will work fine, but the performance boost will be laughable compared to the money you pay for the setup. If your looking for absolute Speed then go ahead. Game perfomance is not boosted a great deal by hard drive speed. You might install it faster though. Stay away from ECC ram it's for servers only. It's actually a bit slower than regular ram and more expensive.
Good Luck

Not to break your spirit or something, but you won't be able to reach 2Ghz with the standard Vapochill solution.

The cooling is'nt effective enough so it won't be able to keep up with the heat.

A resonable goal is around 1750 with a good setup.
