Asus P4P800 questions

[Croc]

I am ready to move to the Asus P4P800 from my P4S533.
I have a 2.66B which overclocks well but is limited by the P4S533.
For now I could stay with the 2.66B but I can get a 2.6C in trade for less than $75Can or $0 with some other spare parts.

I am not into extreme overclocking anymore but would like to hit a stable 233fsb on the 2.6C at 1:1 for day in and day out running.
This will now be my business machine too to I must be stable.

I noted Prom's suggestions for ram but I have a few questions for those with experience on this board:

Is it really critical to go with "matched" pairs of dimm sets?
I could go to 2 x 512meg dimms but it seems harder to find those in matched sets ( see above )?
I understand the Windbond CH5 chips are not as good as the BH5 &6 chips. Is that true?
Will this board take a Zalman 7000ALCU heatsink?
Can I use the Via or onboard Sata for extra standard ide connectors for either hard drives or optical drives?

233 thats 466 right @ 1:1 ...i think you need something like OCZ gold 3700..


This will now be my business machine too to I must be stable.

it doesnt matter how stable my pc is,but for business use (i mean big time business that has no room for downtime) , ill think twice about OC it..

Yeah, I agree with Jojo. If you want the most stable possible, go for a higher clocked CPU instead of overclocking if you really need pure stability.

But if not, you'll want OCZ Gold. And if you want 1GB, then you're gonna be looking at 4x256MB..:eyepop: Which is not going to be cheap at all.
