Total OC Neeb Needs Advice

Lazy8s · 02-January-03, 01:26 AM

Hey, Well I have never overclocked anything before. Actually, today for the first time I have been reading your guides on tweaking windows XP. I am REALLY starting to get into computers. I have always been an avid gamer, but I want to start overclocking, and making custom windows for my comp. Anyways, having never done ANYTHING like this before and not having any friends that do I have a few questions:
1) I am going to get a new mobo, chip, and memory...what should I get? (i.e. easiest/safest to overclock, but also has decent overclocking potential. I don't want to spend $400 to learn and still have a half-ass board.chip combo)
2) I use AMD right now, but should I go Intel?
3) Where are some good tutorials for noobs. You guys have some great ones, but it can't hurt to read everything, right?
Well, sorry the post was so long, but thx in advance.

sorry, I kinda forgot to tell you that I am just about to get an eVGA Geforce4 Ti4200 8x AGP and NO I won't buy a new gfx card when I get the other new stuff so plz take that into consideration when suggesting, thx again
