nice, very helpful stuff here, just a few questions though... Cool-n-Quiet, is that something that is on all the motherboards? or just the msi neo series (neo4?) Alright, so darn my 5900 wont fit in a pci-e slot, so there is no point in buying a pci-e mb at the moment for me, especially sinse they dont push the textures through 8x agp yet! Thanks again for the info!

So if I buy PC PC3500 per say I could over clock the memory FSB to the normal operating FSB Speed (what 3500 would normally be), it just wouldn't be overclocked really, right? so as long as it stays cool enough inside it will do it?

Please help this confused techie!

edit:
What about Windows XP, does it support 64bit cpu's? Is there a speed increase when switching from a barton 2500 to a 3200 64bit chip?
