MAN! i just spent a ton of money on a new Vapochill LS cooling unit. and im debating weather i should put it in one of my two setups (until i can pick up a dual core set up)

setup 1:3000+ amd64 + DFI lanparty UT 250gb

or my

setup 2: my 3.2ghz prescott + p4p800se (non-droop modded)

any suggestions before the unit is shipped here?

Start playing with what you got... than burn few things and start settling to what you will ultimately like.

I say your AMD. It looks like a good system.

The Prescott, if you want clock speed.

well i just came home from school, decided to pump some vcore through the processor (the intel p4 3.2e) and now im running 4.4ghz with 1.55vcore, and its been prime95 for the past 20 mins. ive been reading around, and that seems to be the max vcore i should use on a socket 478 motherboard, without any passive cooling on the mosfets. i also stuck a fan on my northbridge because it was getting a little toasty. hopefully i can go alittle bit higher for 24/7 use.. if not, i'll still be totally happy.

can anyone give me anymore tips on the motherboard?
