Hey all,
I was reading on the net, and I've found the Abit AN7 to be a pretty desent Socket A overclocker, and I was wondering of your opinions... I just ordered one and I'm waiting for it. How well does it really overclock? Did I get robbed $70?
What kind of CPU would be best for it? IE. What xxxx+ AMD XP should I have in it? Note: I'm getting a water cooling kit for it. I'm looking for something under $60.
What type of RAM should I use (PC3200, or that PC4xxxx OCer DDR)? Right now, I have 256MB PC2700 (Pulled it from my server) of Corsair XMS.
What kind of Graphics card should I get? I know it's AGP, but I don't know what type would be good for this, IE, something to prevent a bottleneck or whatever.
What type of PSU should I get? How many watts, amps, etc.. I've read of a cheap-o PSU case doing fine, but I am a little nervous of doing it?
My final question: Are there any TPU'ers who have had an AN7? If so, could you please tell me your expiernces via PM or post here? I need to know first hand expirence.
Thanks people!

When I get it, I'll keep you all updated with it.
