Best mem&mobo for X2?

[Nico3k]

Hi,
I am getting a toledo 4800 and wondering what the best board and especially memory would be to achieve the best OC.
I still have some BH5, but I heard the TCCD runs better with A64. From the looks of it, most people with good O/C are running the DFI nF4 SLI board with some GSkill TCCD.
The cooling is water with two double-sized heatercores. It would be nice if I could run it at 300x10 or so.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions :banana:

Basically, the best mobo and ram for a X2 s939 is the same as the best for a64 s939. When Socket M2 releases, then its a different story since M2's will run with 2mb cache x2's, DDR 2 and/or DDR 3.

To answer your question:
Best mobo:
DFI nF4 Ultra-D
DFI nF4 SLI
We have yet to see what ATI's CrossFire mobos can do

Best memory:
OCD VX DDR 500 (BH-5) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227206)
OCD EL DDR 550 (TCCD/TCC5) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146987)
EDIT: KoolDrews's recomendation
Muskin Redline DDR 500 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146392)

best ram/mb combo would be IMHO dfi-nf4/corsair 3500c2 rev 1.1

I'd say DFI SLI-D & Gskill 4400 LE. Cant beat gskill TCCD, none of that TCC5 crap they stick on OCZ now days.
