Hey everyone!


After the holidays i'm putting together a new 24/7

It'll be based on probably the PentiumD 920 + the ASUS P5WD2 Premium board.
I'll also be adding 2x1gb of value memory, it doesn't have to clock well, i'll use the dividers ;-). For the gfx and psu, i'll be using my current ones, the 6600gt and an ocz modstream 520.


My goal is to run 4ghz on air, or more if possible. Would anyone change something about that rig if it were up to them? The system will be used for everything, from playing games (css, age of empires 3,..)to music editing, movie encoding and surfing the net.

Now for some questions,

Is the motherboard a pain in the ass to work with, like for example, my current dfi ultra-d (I really hate this thing). Are there things I should be careful for with this motherboard?

Kind Regards, and happy holidays to all!
