Ram to OC 1700+?

[morphingboy78]

I was thinking about getting XMS PC2700 cause I was thinking I need XMS for some good OCing. Then I decided I have some extra money so I was thinking should I get PC3200 instead so in the future if I get a 2500+ Barton I won't have to upgrade ram. Is that a good idea? Or will OCing a 2500+ with PC2700 be fine? Also currently for cooling I'm thinking about buying:

2x Speeze Case Fan

+

Speez CPU Fan

How are my cooling solution? How far will I typically get with that cooling and a 1700+?

nah, get pc3200. XMS or HyperX would be a good choice. your cooling is good on a budget BUT look at the fans: $2 a pop with $5 shipping. not cool

If you plan to overclock, get 3200.. most people who don't regret it later. Its not that much more expensive and definately worth it for overclockers.

Yup, 3200 to future proof against 400mhz fsb cpus.

Well I'm not sure what your setup is but u can easily overclock a 1700+ to 200mhz fsb with a NF2 chipset. PC3200 minimum is the way to go...

Epox 8RGA+
Speez CPU Fan
XMS PC3200
Maxtop 350 Watt Case

That's what I'll be running on. Anyways what other cooling would you suggest?
