my x1900xt was 278 last summer!!!! this is a TRUE xt(512mb) and can acctualy do toxic clocks no problem!!!! (675/80) at stock core and mem volts, not bad if you ask me ^^
specly with the vf900 cooler im using ^^.
i can get around 2.8gz on stock volts on this m2n-sli delux and 3500+(2.2gz@2.8 stock volts) gotta up it a bit to get 2.9, but hey, it was cheap and outperforms a pentium4/pentium-d for gaming
would love 4gb of that gskill ram tho
i have 2gb ocz 533 stuff you mentioned and 1gb samsung 533, all running at 700something clocks^^(plenty for amd since a64 chips are more sencitive to latancy then bandwith!!!)
