------------------------------------------------
What I am going to keep from my com.:

HIS Radeon 9800 Pro@XT(bios flash) AGP
Creative Audigy Player 5.1
NorthQ 4001 PSU 17 dB
Qtec Case

I have seen that nforce4 is coming out, but isn't there gonna be a card with AGP?
I can wait if there's gonna be one? Write what system is best Should I buy something else, better cooler ?

PS. Thermalright XP 120 dosen't support these boards

Another person here on the forum got their 3000+ to 2520 stably but they also only had a 300watt powersupply that had some fluctuating voltages so they probably could have gone higher with a better PSU so it looks like 2600 is a distinct reality for you

I got my 3000+ to 2.5Ghz with 1.575V or as the asus probe is saying 1.552 so I really don't know but somewhere around there and I only got a 300W power supply. I'm planning on buying a new one see if I can get it any higher. Also I'd go with the first one as well

thanx for the quick reply's I am gonna buy Choice #1, but one more thing, should I wait for nForce4 or can't I use it, when I have agp?

Nforce 4 is a PCI-ex thing so if you don't want to upgrade your video card then it is Nforce 3
