Mobo powerpack info.

[RocKo]

Hi after reading on reviews here and there I've decided on what mobo to get and a few components:
MICROSTAR K7T PRO2-A ATX KT133 SOCKETA
AMD THUNDERBIRD 800E SOCKET A
3x MICRON PC133 256MB SDRAM 168PIN CAS3

Would you agree this would be great?
What is max I should overclock this machine? what kinda cooling fan should I use.

Thanks.

Hey sounds decent only got a few suggestions one is go for a KT133a chipset mobo the MSI K7T turbo comes to mind and secondly I would get cas2 ram while im on the ram 768mb what are you going to do with that much ram? 256 is normaly plenty for most users and if you want to go overboard 512 will do that. Also remember if you are giong to run win 9x/me these os's dont like more than 512.

whats the diff with CAS2 and CAS3? i was just trying to make the most of my system, since ram is so cheap, but will 768 screw up my WinME??? Thanks for the post. Right now I've got a Abit BE6 mobo 466cel 256pc100(2x64 1x128) and my ram is always all used up.

I'll look up on KT133a, and post back later.. Thanks

Windows 9x/ME has a problem with more the 512 MB of RAM.
