Well as an update, Got the MB and memory installed. The MB is a MSI Neo-4 board, with AMD 3700+, and from research, the memory I got is top of the line. I actually purchased OCZ Platinum Ver2 with CAS2, and 2-2-2-5 timings. Ran basic installation and was benchmarking well above an Intel 3.4 GHz. Ramped up the voltage from 2.8 to 3.4 ( in .1 incriments) and rebenched above an Intel 4.5 Ghz. Frame rate was 32fps according to the benchmark. I can't remember the name of the program, but I got it from ZDNet, and I have always trusted stuff from them. All ran great until for some reason the video card took a dump, now I gotta find out why, and then replace it...lol. RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME! it sucked!
