watch out on those bartons, most of them bitches are locked now. Of course, since you're looking at pc3200, you shouldn't have any trouble getting that 2500+ to about 2.2, especially with Artic Silver. Everything else looks good, although you'd probably get more bang with 2*512 instead of just one stick. Nice video card, hope you're hitting up the sale on newegg for that one, damn $219 for a 9800 Pro, that's some crazy shit.

be careful with the arctic silver. For some reason, when AMD detects Silver on a chip, they void the warranty no matter what caused it to fail. Silver's great stuff, but you should be aware of that.

Lasereth

Looks good. You'll be able to OC that beast to 400 MHz FSB easily, putting it at Athlon XP 3200+ performance. I wouldn't change anything. Keep in mind that the Tornado CPU fan is gonna be incredibly loud.

Save the money on the Artic Silver... At BEST, you'll lower temps 1-2 degrees versus are regular ceramic paste.

Everything else looks damn sweet!

sailor

Yeah, watch out for that Tornado, its gonna sound like a jet is landing in your living room.

I am agreeing with Sailor, I bought the Tornado and returned it the next day, Id like to hear my mp3's over my fan. Those Bartons work real nice with PC 3200 memory. I just put mine in a week ago and I have it comfortably over clocked to 3200+, no problem at all. Enjoy that bad boy!

Can I regulate the tornado's speed from the motherboard or do I have to get a fan regulator ?

Also, I'm pretty unhappy about newegg's decision to stop selling/listing Radeon 9800 regulars and Panaflo 80mm fans.

You don't want a 9800 regular. The FX 5900 regular is much, much better than the 9800. I'd go ahead and hit up NewEgg before tomorrow, though - as bltzkrieg said, the Sapphire Radeon 9800 PROS are on sale for $219. This is a STEAL. They are usually $280+. If I had the money, I'd order MULTIPLE cards and resell them. I can't stess how good of a deal that is. 5900 regulars are around that price, and now NewEgg has a damned 9800 Pro for the same price.
