My friend won some parts, and is willing to sell me an A8N-SLI Deluxe for $100. He also will give me a 3500+ Newcastle for another $60, but im not sure about that cuz I might want to buy a winnie. Either way, is that board a decent overclocker? Ill probably be using it withe ONE 6600GT PCI-E for now, might get a second later if I feel like it or I wnat more gaming performance. Ill be using my Corsair XMS C2 stuff that does 240mhz on my lanparty UT.

That mobo has problems with FSB above 260, and it has problems running 1T above 260. But otherwise, thats a good deal...

Go for it.

You can probably sell it on in a few weeks for what you paid if you dont get on with it.

I dunno if its the same problem for you guys...
I've had good luck with the FSB pushing, always disabled all the onboard stuff. Today I tried to enable the Marvell LAN and straight away it gave me stability problems.

Thanks for the tip LardArse, oh and nice score with those uber-cooled 6800U
